I think Maryland returns to the top of the Big 10 if everyone is healthy. Miller/Reese/Owusu is a heck of a 3 headed monster when all are healthy. Add in Briggs and they have by far the most athletic team in the conference. Plus Sellers is a good athlete and Collins is a capable stretch 4. Maryland definitely has Final Four potential, whether it pans out for them is another story.
It has only been 4 years (2018). She will have the free Covid year if she doesn't want to try her luck in the WNBA draft.
Taking no credit away from Iowa as the dual regular season and tournament champs, but the scheduling panned out fortuitously in that they only had to go through Maryland once. Maryland had its issues this year but beat Iowa in their sole matchup and is perhaps the only team in the conference that can replicate the Hawkeyes’ style of play.
proud member of the Veronica Burton fan club. She deserved to be an All American (even though some felt Northwestern didn’t have a good enough season) and I said she should be a first round draft pick! I’m so happy for her. She is a great player to watch.
Great fan club. Veronica has been a joy to watch over the years.
Definitely sad news. Wishing Holloway all the best. Great kid here in Minnesota. Just an all-around high character person and major talent.Holloway Suffers Season-Ending Knee Injury - University of Minnesota Athletics

This is unfortunate. She's part of Minnesota's best recruiting class since Coach Whelan took over the program.
I got my money on Indiana being number one. Sorry, Minnesota and Michigan (Two Big Ten teams that I follow). I just like what Coach Moren has done at Indiana. Plus, they have gained a few nice additions (on paper) to their roster. Indiana could lead the pack in the Big Ten. Iowa is dangerous as well. They could finish in that second spot or lead the pack as well. Same with Maryland. Michigan is the mystery team for me. Like you said, Michigan lost quite a lot, especially with the loss of Hillmon. Hillmon was like 90% of the offense last year for Michigan. So many questions with the current roster and coaching mindset. Will coach have the offense flow through Brown or some other idea. Michigan is that mystery team for me. Same with Nebraska & Ohio State. Those two could be really good or being in that running for 4th or 5th place in the Big Ten. I just can't wait until the season!!
Some games stand out to me. These should be some very exciting matchups.2022 ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
Definitely. Some very exciting matchups.
Man...............they lost a key player to their rotation last year this way.
Very sorry to hear that, another really good kid who was in the picture as a contributor for a Top 10 team.
