BIG TEN BASKETBALL RANKINGS

some of you might think this is bias and it is partially

so with that starting at the bottom....

12. Iowa Hawkeyes

the reason the Hawkeyes are at the bottom of the list is because they are a program in rebuilding and they don't really have a great player.

11. Penn State Nittany Lions

this might come as a surprise but I honestly think Penn State is almost the worst team in the big ten

the only thing this team has going for them is there offense and that's even pretty lack luster.

10. Nebraska Cornhuskers

Now some of you might hate on me for putting Nebraska in front of Iowa and Penn State but I honestly think Nebraska has promise. Their big men have skill but lack athleticism and the need a good scoring guard but they cold contend soon.

9. Purdue Boilermakers

Its not that Purdue is a bad team they are decent but they going through a lot of transition and I am not sure their coach Matt Painter is the coach to bring the through he transition.

8. Michigan Wolverines

The most over rated team in the country. The fact of the mater is they only have one good player in Trey Burke and all their other players are over rated. Event their coach is extremely over rated.

7. Northwestern wildcats

Northwestern and coach Bill Carmody have done an amazing job after loosing star players from their last years great season.

6. Wisconsin Badgers

to be perfectly honest I have know no idea how Wisconsin made it up here but some how "you mad Bo" Bo Ryan has gotten these misfit badgers to play decent.

5. Ohio State Buckeyes

Ohio State is at 5th for 1 reason Deshaun Tomas and Aaron Craft. These 2 players have really stepped up since "Sully" left.

4. Illinois Fighting Illini

WOW..... I thought at the end of last season when Illinois fired Bruce Weber who I thought was one of the best coaches in the big ten I did not expect much from this team but the boys from Champaign showed me up.

Alright top 3...

3. Michigan State Spartans
