BIG Rankings to date:
Michigan - can play about any style, Stauskas difference maker
Indiana - still have some defensive issues with Hulls on the floor, deepest team in BIG
MSU - always put it together in conference play, can Appling step up
OSU - as always starters and a bench player about as good as anyone, if Thomas can't hit a three, who can
Illinois/Minnesota - lots of talent will they flourish or fail in BIG
Iowa - young team that gets better every game, three point defense and ability to make a three determines their fate.
Wisconsin/Purdue - Two teams replacing a lot that was lost from last season
NW - No Crawford, not many wins
PSU - No Frazier, who is overrated to begin with, DJ Newbill now the one man show...ugh
Neb - Their big guy is alright, problem they have no guards, or other real talent to speak of
