Big Ten basketball: Purdue, Michigan, Illinois lead our post-transfer portal power rankings
Briefly

As the Big Ten approaches the 2025-26 season, it faces a critical moment with the introduction of four new coaches and the pressure of an ongoing championship drought since 2000. Despite the absence of a title, the conference is projected to have at least two teams in the top 10, specifically Purdue and Michigan, both of which possess strong rosters. The potential for nine or ten teams making the NCAA Tournament emphasizes the vast middle ground talent in the conference.
The Big Ten will enter the 2025-26 season with four new coaches, at least two top-10 teams, and one jaw-dropping drought, without a national championship since 2000.
Purdue should have the best team in the Big Ten, with guard Braden Smith and big man Trey Kaufman-Renn offering a bright forecast for the season ahead.
