Race Thompson and Trayce Jackson-Davis lead Indiana, the Big Ten's early title favorite

Indiana is the early favorite to win the Big Ten this season. The Hoosiers finished ninth last season and reached the NCAA tournament. They have one of the best frontcourts in the country with Trayce Jackson-Davis and Race Thompson. Big League mainstays Purdue, Michigan and Illinois could challenge the Hoopsiers for the title. The team has experienced more roster turnover through graduation and the transfer portal. Jalen Hood-Schifino was picked as the unofficial preseason freshman of year. He is son of former Gophers running back Darrell Thompson and current radio analyst Darrell.
