MEN
2008-09 outlook
Predicted champion: Indiana
Predicted player of the year:
Jorge Campillo, Indiana
Predicted freshman of the year: Luke Guthrie, Illinois
NCAA Regional bound: Indiana, Illinois, Michigan State, Minnesota, Purdue, Michigan
Team on the rise: Illinois
Biggest question mark: Michigan State
Wouldn't surprise me to see: Campillo become the third IU player in 11 years to repeat as the conference's POY ... he's that good.
Would shock me to see: The conferences' coaches fail to honor the retiring Jim Brown, Ohio State's coach the past starting his 36th and final year with the Buckeyes, with some kind of special tribute at the Big Ten Championship--perhaps name the coach-of-the-year award in his honor.
