John, when you look at the Big 10 title odds right now, we discussed it earlier in the
00:06
year until proven otherwise, that Big 10 regular season crown still runs through West Lafayette,
00:13
but Michigan is the favorite at plus 340.
00:17
There you see the Illini at plus 750, Wisconsin, a 20 to one number, despite being a top 20
00:24
team in college hoops.
00:26
When you look at Purdue or elsewhere atop the odds board, who do you think is the best
00:30
challenger to the Boilermakers at this moment?
00:33
Well, I think there's a number of different ways you can go, Ben.
00:36
I think for all intents and purposes, obviously the balance of the Big 10 is going to be a
00:42
major, major question when you look at this conference.
00:46
I don't see a team that's really in position to push out among the rest.
00:51
I think a couple of days ago, you'd have to say Dana Altman's Oregon Ducks, but I got
00:55
to tell you, the performance that UCLA had on Sunday in Eugene was really impressive.
01:02
I'm not saying obviously that UCLA was flawless down the stretch because it wasn't.
01:08
UCLA for 37 minutes was clearly the better team than Oregon, and in the last two or three
01:13
minutes there was a lot of miscues that Mick Cronin's team will need to rectify.
01:17
But UCLA is markedly better than the team the first week of the season that went to
01:22
Las Vegas and lost to New Mexico.
01:24
I see the Bruins researching.
01:27
I see unparalleled depth in the Big 10, and I see a team that looks to be a force in that
01:34
league.
01:35
UCLA is a unit right now that doesn't have a Jaime Jacquez, that doesn't have a Johnny
01:40
Juicing, but the whole looks greater than the sum of its parts in Westwood.
