Big Ten Preview
Team To Beat
Michigan State 22-9 (14-6) The Spartans heated up at the end of the season, going 5-0 with wins against the Big Ten’s best teams. If Cassius Winston is on, the Spartans are going to be near impossible to take down.
Contenders
Maryland 24-7 (14-6) The Terrapins have two separate 9 game win streaks this season. March is a weird time, weird enough to make a third such streak possible.
Wisconsin 21-10 (14-6) In arguably the toughest conference in college basketball, the Badgers have won 8 straight games. They have wins against teams throughout the Big Ten standings and are 15-1 at home.
Upset Alert
Iowa 20-11 (11-9) The man, the myth, the center. Luka Garza is a phenom, fifth in the country in points per game and nearly averaging a double-double. Don’t discount the big man in March.
