It is Big Ten Media Day up in Chicago. I am not there, but the event will be carried live on Big Ten Network today, I have a correspondent on the ground to get me anything I could use, and I get the transcript of coach Painter's presser e-mailed to me when it is done, so I will post a few things here while I am at work.
Already the preseason picks and all-conference teams are out:
2013-14 Preseason Rankings:
1. Michigan State (Unanimous No. 1)
2. Michigan
3. Ohio State
2013-14 Preseason All-Big Ten Team
Mitch McGary - Michigan
Glenn Robinson III - Michigan
Gary Harris - Michigan State
Adreian Payne - Michigan State
Aaron Craft - Ohio State
Tim Frazier - Penn State
(There are six because of a tie for the No. 5 spot)
2013-14 Preseason Big Ten Player of the Year
Gary Harris - Michigan State
It stings a little bit that two of the four all-conference players are guys that got away (Robinson and Harris), especially when both are the sons of Purdue alums. All we can do is go out and win with the hand we do have though.
I will have more as the day goes on.
