Big Ten Tournament Team Bars -- Michigan gets O'Reilly's
Here is a list of the team bars in Indianapolis for the BTT. They look to be the same as last year with the obvious addition of Nebraska.

Celebrate with like-minded fans at the following restaurants:
- Illinois - Ram Restaurant & Big Horn Brewery
- Indiana - Kilroy's Bar & Grill
- Iowa - Weber Grill Restaurant
- Michigan - O'Reilly's Irish Bar and Restaurant
- Michigan State - Slippery Noodle Inn
- Minnesota - Rock Bottom Brewery
- Nebraska - Champions Sports Bar and Restaurant at Indianapolis Marriott Downtown
- Northwestern - Buffalo Wings and Rings
- Ohio State - Champps Americana
- Penn State - Harry & Izzy's
- Purdue - Scotty's Brewhouse
- Wisconsin - Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar
I moved to Indy in June, and I've been to all of these except Buffalo Wings and Rings. Jealous that Penn State has Harry & Izzy's because that place is awesome and fits the Michigan fanbase to a T. O'Reilly's was fun last year, but it is pretty small, hopefully the weather will be nice enough for outside seating, but it is snowing here today.
Hope so see some of you down here, I'll probably repost the list on Wednesday or Thursday if it's cool with the mods.
It's highly likely that Michigan will have many more fans there...and PSU won't be there very long...this is just an objective fact, not trying to be mean!
If you like chimney smoking red-necks, Slippery Noodle is the perfect fit! MSU fans everywhere are rejoicing.
Really? A hotel bar?
You seem to assume that there are Nebraska basketball fans to be screwed.
I'm thinking he must mean during football season
There aren't going to be any Husker fans in Indy past Thursday, if any at all.
Technically it is in a hotel, but it doesn't feel that way at all. Champoins is a huge bar with a couple projector screens and a ton of TVs. I'm actually surprised Nebraska got it because they are terrible and will probably have 13 fans there. They have really good food and it is a fun place when it is packed, I'd rather have Champions than O'Reilly's because that place was packed to the brim last year.
Why the hell does Wisconsin get Buffalo Wild Wings, that's by far the best bar. I say us Michigan fans invade that bar.
Gotta be.
Believe it or not, the B-dubs in downtown Indy typically has a damn good craft and local beer selection. Or at least it used to, not a local so I don't have a current report.

If any of you are headed to Indy, I suggest hitting up Shapiro's Deli. Cafeteria style restaurant and it's pretty damn good IMO.
..that it's going to be a constant pain in the ass to order a beer in that bar?.. great..
