If you had told me before the season that Ohio State, at this point, would be 17-6 and ranked 13th in the country, I’d have a heart attack from laughing so hard.

There’s no possible way this team could be a whopping 7-4 in the B1G Ten! With Aaron Craft’s lock-down defense and Deshaun Thomas’ knock-down shooting, the Buckeye’s should be the no. 1 team in the country!

But nobody, including me, saw what the B1G Ten conference was going to be like.

At this point, forget Ohio State. Had you told me that there would be five teams in the Top 25 (1 Indiana, 4 Michigan, 8 Michigan State, 13 Ohio State, 20 Wisconsin) with Minnesota, yes, MINNESOTA, getting votes to be in the Top 25, I would have…honestly…I don’t know what I would’ve done.

The conference has never, EVER been this good before! The Big East was this good in its prime (R.I.P.) and the ACC was amazing when North Carolina used to be a legitimate program (key words: used to). But the B1G Ten? Never.

This is what’s so great about college basketball. The fact that any team, no matter how big, or how well known, can go out and make a run and compete with anybody. Anytime. Anywhere.

It sucks that B1G Ten teams are going to continue to beat each other up, it really does. But, come tournament time, we’re all in for quite a treat.
