Going into conference season...

Good stuff. Hammond first team all B1G and no hoosiers in sight. Pretty fair analysis of the entire conference, IMO.
I've watched every B10 team at least once this season, and while MSU is good, this is not Izzo's best team. And Maryland's coaching is as suspect as IU's and Iowa's. For the life of me I can't understand why the "guru's" that are supposed to be smarter than everyone else keep trying to "will" IU into a juggernaut of a team when anyone with any common sense knows Crean, even on the med's he's on this year, is not a great...or IMO even an above average game coach and will cost his team at least two games every year...most times in the most crucial of situations. I love Northwestern's guard play....just think how good then Boilers would be with McIntosh running the point...and think they may actually be the surprise of the league. Iowa has talent, but again a coach that....can't coach. Michigan has yet to come together this year, Illinois is short a player or two and Groce continues to baffle me with his coaching. Ohio State under Matta will get better as the year goes along, but after Maryland, MSU, and Purdue the league drops off rapidly.
