2013 Big Ten Basketball Media Day: Preseason All-Conference

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.
