Indiana goes at the top of it because of what I can trust about the Hoosiers (Trayce Jackson-Davis, veteran point guard play, etc.). I just don't trust any team that loses a talent like Ayo Dosunmu, who did so much and so substantially defined Illinois' identity the past two years, to just carry on roughly like normal without him. Putting faith in Tom Izzo is rarely a bad play, but Illinois point guard Andre Curbelo is fantastic, and Kofi Cockburn is the league's most important defensive player. Ohio State to me seems like the closest to those two now, and possibly the team with the best chance of closing that gap by March.

Here are the results of the overall vote, plus my annotated ballot beneath for full transparency: Big Ten basketball preseason projections Then comes the uncertainty around a gaggle of teams, including Michigan State, Maryland, IU, Rutgers and Iowa, for a variety of reasons.Īnd there's plenty of local flavor in preseason-player-of-the-year voting, although neither Jaden Ivey nor Trayce Jackson-Davis gets the final nod. Unsurprisingly, Purdue and Michigan are widely regarded as Big Ten frontrunners, with Ohio State and possibly Illinois tucked in behind them.

That means that, unlike many meteor showers, more Draconids are likely to fly in the evening hours than in the morning hours after midnight.," EarthSky continued. "The Draconid shower is a real oddity, in that the radiant point stands highest in the sky as darkness falls. The Draconids are best viewed in the evening, in a dark open sky away from city or street lights. But you can begin seeing meteors during its active period beginning Oct.
8 (Friday evening), meaning viewing at the time will be the best opportunity to observe the meteors.

You go, and sometimes you catch something." "As a wise person once said, meteor showers are like fishing. "In general, the Draconids aren’t a rich shower, unless their parent comet is nearby," EarthSky explained. It's also not overly active, with about five to 10 meteors per hour.
