Big 10 College Basketball Preview
With the college basketball sports betting regular season set to begin in a matter of weeks, fans and handicappers alike are wondering which Big 10 team will win the championship this season. Last season, Jared Sullinger led a veteran Ohio State Buckeyes lineup to the sweet 16 but was unable to make it to the championship. Can Sullinger and his fellow Buckeyes win the big one? Michigan and Michigan State both appear to be improved, and with the addition of Nebraska bookie software agents are having trouble deciphering who will come out of the Big 10. Here is a preview.
Michigan Wolverines – Fielding one of the youngest rosters in the NCAA, expectations weren’t very high for the Michigan Wolverines in 2010 – 11. However, as the season progressed, the youthful Wolverines continued to pull off upset after upset. Last season, Michigan not only made the March Madness tournament, they came within three points of advancing to the Sweet 16 with a come from behind loss to Duke.
This season, the Wolverines come in looking to win the Big 10 title. The loss of Darius Moore will hopefully be countered by the returns of sophomores, Tim Hardaway Jr. John Horford, and Jordan Morgan, along with seniors Stu Douglass and Zack Novak appear to be a daunting starting five. Look for Michigan to continue their climb towards the top of the Big 10 standings.
Purdue Boilermakers – Another team to look out for this season will be the Purdue Boilermakers. With the departures of JuJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore, to the Boston Celtics in the NBA draft, all of the NHL stock will rely on the oft-injured Robbie Hummel this season. Coming off of back to back ACL surgeries, if Hummel can play at 100 percent, he could be this season’s Jimmer Fredette.
