Wisconsin absolutely has the right to be #1 right now. With that entire team coming back, its hard for them to not be.
I have a hard time seeing OSU as #2 though. This is what, the third year in a row where we're asking who on that team is going to be able to score points? They'll be solid defensive like always, but until they prove they can score points, I see them behind us and MSU.
This season hinges on Donnal's development and whether or not he can turn into a force down low, as well as whether or not Beilein can find a suitable rotation there. There will undoubtedly be some games where Donnal will have growing pains, and we might lose some games because of it. But none of us will ever question Beilein's ability to get the most out of his players. We'll be ready to go come March. And if LeVert, Walton and Irvin can make jumps like they're expected to, we will once again have an extremely dangerous back court.
