EAST LANSING, Mich. — Tom Izzo summed things up as best as he could.
“It’s been a crazy year in college basketball,” the Michigan State coach said Thursday. “And it’s been a real crazy year in the Big Ten.”
It’s a fair assessment of a season that is lacking any truly elite teams and the Big Ten reflects that as well as any conference. Purdue is the No. 1 team in the country and has avoided any losing skids, but whether the Boilermakers are the clear-cut best team out there is up for debate.
