Just wondering, why do you have Illinois so high?

I think they can be that good. And they have a player in Malcolm Hill that could be the best SF in the conference. No disrespect to Troy Williams or Jake Layman but Hill can be that good.

1.) Indiana

1.) Maryland

1.) Purdue

1.) Wisconsin (They'll have 2 starters that played significant mins in 2 Final Fours. Sleep on them all you want.)

5.) MSU

6.) O$U

7.) Iowa

8.) Michigan

9.) Illinois (I see a very disappointing season and a call for Groce's job. The talent is there to win.)

10.) Northwestern

11.) Minnesota

12.) Nebraska

13.) Penn State

14.) Rutgers

 

 

I think there is likely a log jam at the top. IU can win the league outright if Troy Williams and JB make big strides defensively. Adding Thon Maker would be a pretty gnarly and help our odds to win the B1G and National Title.

If Illinois doesn't have a good year then Groce will be gone. The Top 9 should be very competitive. But I don't see how MSU finishes outside the Top 3 worth how easy their schedule is.

I just think they lost way too much to even make up for that cupcake schedule.

They probably bring back more than you think. Add a McD's AA PF and bring on Eron Harris.

The two most important positions on the floor in my eyes: PG and C.  I dont like how they stack up in either of those areas. Not saying they dont have a shot. I just dont see it this year.

they bring back both Schilling and Costello who have proven to be able to play C. They also bring back Nairn who can't shoot but is quick and feisty. Plus they bring back Valentine, Forbes bring on Harris and Davis. Michigan State is going to be good. Plus they have Izzo.

I agree they will be good but those guys you listed did nothing to change my opinion on their strength at those two positions. Schilling is not a center (Sure he looked like one against us last year.) And Costello is experienced but very underwhelming to me.

they definitely aren't world beaters but can get the job done and both went to the Final Four last year. They should have enough fire power between Valentine and Harris as well.
