Big 10 Power Rankings 2-11
By Paul M. Banks 1. Purdue (20-3, 9-3) yes, the Spartans still didn't have a 100% Kalin Lucas, but winning at the Breslin Center is still winning at the Breslin Center. And the Boilers, winners of five in a row, now look like the conference team positioned to make the best tournament run in March. 2. Michigan State (19-6, 9-3) Every team hits a rough patch at some … [Read more...] about Big 10 Power Rankings 2-11
Big Ten Power Rankings 2-4
By Paul M. Banks 1. Michigan State (19-4, 9-1) As bad as the Kalin Lucas injury looked, it's not that bad. The green & white nation can all breathe in a collective sigh of relief.

By Paul M. Banks 1. Michigan State (16-3, 6-0) Who's the class of the conference yet again? This decade has belonged to the Spartans in basketball, the same manner that the Buckeyes have owned the gridiron. 2. Ohio State (14-5, 4-3) When you have the league's best player (that would be Evan Turner NOT Kalin Lucas), back in midseason form, you deserve to grab the #2 … [Read more...] about Big 10 Power Rankings 1-22
Big Ten Power Rankings 1-14
By Paul M. Banks 1. Michigan State (14-3, 4-0) They're starting near "March season form" now, as they're getting out into the open court more. Even though a couple of their last opponents have a style that doesn't exactly lend the pace of the game to such things. A big reason is junior wing Durrell Summers. Who described what the key to the Spartans' running game has … [Read more...] about Big Ten Power Rankings 1-14
