Message: [QUOTE="JellyBean, post: 4404146, member: 1997"] Big Ten Media Day. First off, I heard some coaches were upset because the media day was in Minneapolis. My take, I like the fact that the Big Ten Basketball Media Day was in Minnesota. I think that each year or every other year, each program should host the media day. Share the wealth. Indiana and Illinois are great states but there are other places to check out. I can't wait for Iowa or Nebraska to host the Big Ten Basketball Media one day. I am looking forward to Minneapolis hosting the Women's Big Ten Tournament. Anyway a few quick highlights of the media day one. I will add Day Two later. Day One: Maryland- Looking forward to seeing how the pieces that has been added blend together. Plus, we always hear folks talk about teams playing "positionless" basketball. Maryland is actually going to be that team this year. Indiana- Coach Moren returning some quality players and picking up some really solid players. Purdue- They had a new coach but towards the end of the season, they were playing together and looking forward to continuing to show improvement from last season. Iowa- Like Indiana, Iowa is the considered the favorite to win the Big Ten. Everyone back and looking forward to claiming the Big Ten. Caitlin Clark is a game changer and one exciting player to watch. Rutgers- Coach Washington is going to push the pace and have the Rutgers move away from the low scoring tradition of Rutgers WBB to a high scoring team. We will see how this plays out. Illinois- Coach Shauna Green hopes to revive the Illinois WBB program. Focus will be on defense and pushing the pace. Coach Green had great success at Dayton, looking forward to seeing her turnaround Illinois program. One of the hot recruiting spots in the nation. Northwestern- Still a little bitter about being left out of post season tournaments last year but looking to play with a chip on their shoulder this season. They have the pieces, but I can see them being in the middle of the pack of the Big Ten. [/QUOTE]
