One of the true signs -- literally and figuratively -- that show how Indianapolis embraces the Big Ten Basketball Tournaments can be found on several light poles downtown near Bankers Life Fieldhouse. One week ago, the Indianapolis Star's Stephen Beard designed a clever map of the downtown area so Big Ten fans could find their way around, not to mention find their way to their favorite street!Below is a breakdown of where each school is represented in the downtown area, followed by Beard's design.
