1. Iowa (16-3, 7-0)
The Hawkeyes, already with season sweeps of Michigan State and Purdue, have, by far, the most impressive Big Ten resume, and Jarrod Uthoff, not only a candidate for conference player of the year, is also pushing himself to the national forefront.
This week: at Maryland, Thurs.; Northwestern, Sun.
2. Indiana (17-3, 7-0)
Senior guard Yogi Ferrell, now the all-time assists leader at Indiana, was also named the Big Ten player of the week. And, yes, that’s news. It’s the first time, believe it or not, that Farrell has won the award.
