I know some one asked about it on this board a couple days ago.

And I should put a team at #1 that struggled to an 11 seed on the bubble and just happened to make a cinderella run? I can hate Purdue, but also have to look at them without any bias and see that their roster is arguably the best in the nation. Will that mean they will live up to the hype? No clue. 

I guess I just don't see it.  Really good roster, but I can't come up with an argument that it's the best in the nation.  I certainly don't see a guy on their team who is going to take over a game if the offense is struggling.

Worth watching for sure

They have Curbelo coming back and..? It seems like players bolted from there pretty quickly.

@Brumdog45 were you the one telling me early on that Illinois had some issues despite how well they were playing. Not sure if this is what you meant but you were at least seeing something was amiss

Sorry, but I think that was someone else.

Jaden Ivey and Trevion Williams. Both B1G POY candidates. They will for sure be Top 5 to start the season without a doubt. It'll just be whether or not they can handle that pressure.

I look at Ivey and see 40/26/73 as a freshman with 11 ppg.  Carson Edwards was a 38/34/74 guy at 10 ppg.  Edwards had a huge jump as a sophomore, becoming a 46/41/82 guy scoring 18 1/2 per game.....that kind of jump is irregular and although Edwards was all-first team Big Ten, I don't think he was a legitimate contender for Big Ten POY.  I simply don't envision Ivey as a potential Big Ten POY next year.

I really thought Williams and Ivey would at least test the NBA waters.

Well you don't need to average 25ppg go be a B1G POY candidate. Garza is gone. Ayo is gone. TJD will be the favorite to win it. But that doesn't mean Ivey won't be a candidate if he makes the jump he should and showed flashes of doing.

TJD over Hunter Dickenson for favorite? If Dickenson is back I personally would put him as the favorite

I think so too. Will be interesting to see how losing everyone else in the starting lineup and brown affects him though. A lot more pressure to produce

Yes I'd put TJD as the favorite going in. Dickinson, Trevino Williams, EJ Liddell(if he returns), Jaden Ivey, Kofi Cockburn(if he returns) and Aaron Henry will be the likely top guys going into the season. Big Ten likely to be a bit down. Iowa and Wisconsin could have some rougher seasons.

I don’t expect Henry back

I know it’s just a typo but I’m tempted to refer to him as ‘Trevino’ from this point forward.

I never mentioned 25 points. But guys that are Big Ten MVP do have y to o put up big points if they aren’t going to put up big rebounding or assist numbers, which Ivey isn’t.  I don’t expect Ivey to make the leap like Edwards did and think 15 ppg is more likely.
