CHICAGO — One year ago, Glynn Watson and Evan Taylor sat at a table in Madison Square Garden and might as well have been invisible.

Big Ten media day was in New York City, and the Nebraska men's basketball team was picked near the bottom of the conference. While players from Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa and others spent their time answering questions from a host of media, Watson and Taylor essentially had a free hour to scroll through their phones.
