With a win over Michigan State on March 2, Purdue clinched a share of the Big Ten regular season championship. With a win over Illinois on March 5, the Boilermakers secured the outright Big Ten regular season championship for the second consecutive season and 26th overall.

Purdue center Zach Edey was named Big Ten Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg and Purdue coach Matt Painter were named co-Big Ten Coaches of the Year.

The Big Ten tournament was held from March 13 through March 17, 2024 at Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Illinois defeated Wisconsin in the championship game to win their fourth tournament title.

In addition to Illinois, who received the conference' automatic bid to the NCAA tournament, Michigan State, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue, and Wisconsin received bids to the tournament.

Three schools also received invitations to the National Invitation Tournament: Iowa, Minnesota, and Ohio State.

The season marked the last season played with 14 teams in the conference, with four schools (Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington) joining the conference in 2024. This was the first season played under the Big Ten's new seven-year media rights deal. As a result, no conference games were played on ESPN and some games were played on Peacock for the first time.
