Ok, time to fess up, how good did you think this backcourt would be prior to the start of the season? I'll lead, I wasn't as nervous as many as I was confident that Newman and Morton would be solid and that Jenkins would be playable, so anything from the freshmen would be gravy. Overall I had the backcourt as middle of the pack in the Big Ten, outside of the top third of the conference as a ceiling but better than the bottom quarter as a floor.
I think there's a lot left to learn about this group over a full season, but my view is now that their floor is the top half of the conference and if they continue to improve could be one of the best backcourts in the B10. It will be interesting to see if those who predicted this to be one of the worst backcourts in the conference to come clean here.
