BIG TEN STANDINGS 1. Wisconsin – Everyone but Ben Brust is back from the Final Four team. 2. Nebraska – Terran Petteway and a healthy Shavon Shields form a fantastic 1-2 punch. 3. Michigan State – Speaking of 1-2 punches, Branden Dawson and Denzel Valentine will be nice. 4. Michigan – Prediction: Zak Irvin or Derrick Walton Jr. will be the most improved player. 5. Ohio State – No team welcomes a better or deeper recruiting class. 6. Illinois – This should be John Groce’s best Illini squad. 7. Maryland – The Terps return four double-digit scorers, including former Wolverine Evan Smotrycz. 8. Iowa – It’s Aaron White’s team, and now he needs to become more assertive. 9. Minnesota – The reigning NIT champs lose Austin Hollins, but should have a healthy Andre Hollins. 10. Indiana – The Hoosiers desperately need someone to emerge in the frontcourt. 11. Purdue – Matt Painter should have a team that better fits his style. 12. Northwestern – Can JerShon Cobb finally stay healthy and give Northwestern a full season? 13. Penn State – Brandon Taylor needs to make a huge leap to keep this team out of the cellar. 14. Rutgers – To put it politely, the Scarlet Knights have work to do on defense ALL-BIG TEN TEAMS FIRST TEAM Yogi Ferrell, Indiana Terran Petteway, Nebraska Caris LeVert, Michigan Denzel Valentine, Michigan State Frank Kaminsky, Wisconsin SECOND TEAM D.J.
