The Hawkeye State, a nicely done Iowa blog, asked various Big Ten bloggers to submit previews of the teams they cover. He had hoped to post them alphabetically, but my foot-dragging interfered with that. The Michigan State and Illinois previews are up, and I would expect that my IU preview will be posted sometime in the upcoming week.

I say this with all sincerity: if you see any mistakes in my preview, please let me know and I will ask Hawkeye State to correct them. My biggest concern surrounds some inconsistencies on the IU website concerning whether certain players are back this season.
