Once again, I think all the freshman will all play important roles on this years team.

Well, they're here. KenPom for 2013-14! Once again, we start off dead last in the B1G. But at least this year we aren't starting off in the 200's. :shrug: Nothing much really stands out to me other than maybe how high Iowa starts off, and maybe outside the strength of the Charleston Classic, there appears to be a lot of winnable games on our non-con schedule. In fact, it may not be a whole lot more difficult than last years Kenpom rankings as of 10-27-13. ============================== B1G (0-0): 2. Michigan State 7. Ohio State 12. Michigan 15. Iowa 22.
