Unofficial B1G Predictions 2018

5. Nebraska: 

 

Perhaps a down Big Ten and a weaker conference schedule played a role, but Nebraska and its plethora of well-developed transfers turned plenty of heads last season, finishing with a 13-5 record in conference play and 22 wins overall. Now, the Cornhuskers are fifth in the conference with five former top-150 recruits, and will be one of the league’s more experienced teams returning their top four scorers and much of their bench. An NCAA Tournament berth is a fair expectation, but another productive offseason could lead to more in store for Tim Miles’ team.

In my opinion I would say

1. Michigan State(There are a lot of weaknesses but the talent is undeniabaly the best in the big ten)

2. Michigan (John Belein has done an excellent job winning in both tournaments and with Charles Matthews back with a bunch of young talent this team should great this year)

3. Nebraska (We all know this team is very talented and very experienced and as motivated as ever to win)

4. Indiana(The duo between Juwan Morgan and Romeo Langford is the best in the big ten hands down but they only have one scholarship point guard on the roster named Robert Phinisee and he is just a 5-11 true freshman)

5. Wisconsin (Ethan Happ is all big ten and Brad Davidson is a future all big ten player and with every else back with a good coach this team is good)

6. Maryland (This team has a lot of talent but with little experience. With the help of future draft pick bigs Jalen Smith and Bruno Fernando and the leadership of Anthony Cowan don't underestimate this team)

7. Purdue (Carsen Edwards is the only scholarship point guard on the roster and the only player returning that has played more than 17.3 minutes. If he doesn't play like the best player in the big ten and if Nojel Eastern doesn't break out this year then this team could play the first night in the big ten tournament)

8. Iowa (This team is loaded with talent and experience and with Jordan Bohannon and Tyler Cook stealing the show this team could skip the first two nights of the big ten tournament)

9. Minnesota (This team is seriously underrated and they sure shouldn't be as they very well could be a top four seed in the big ten tournament and a single digit seed in the NCAA tournament with Jordan Murphy, Amir Coffey, Dupree McBrayer, Isaiah Washington, and Eric Curry returning)

10. Ohio State (This team is very young and inexperienced but if they can play together well and a shooter other than Musa Jallow can show up such as three star true freshman Duane Washington then they could surprise people again)

11. Penn State (They lost a LOT of experience outside of Josh Reaves, Lamar Stevens and Mike Watkins. Don't be surprised if each of those players provide for at least 33 minutes a game each and provide for at least 75% of the points and rebounds)

12. Illinois (With Ayo Dosunmo and  Trent Frazier stealing the show this team could seriously surprise people as this guard loaded positionless team is dangerous and could beat anyone in the big ten on any given night.

13. Northwestern( I have trouble liking this team with not a single point guard on the roster but I could be proven wrong for putting them this low if Vic Law could really step up in his final season at Northwestern)

14. Rutgers( I would not be surprised to see this team skip the first night of the big ten tournament as Geo Baker and Montez Mathis could really step up this year)
