The basketball fans’ guide to shopping Have you seen this season’s new shirts?

Let’s go for a smoothie in the food court.

I’m gonna need this much closet space for the clothes I bought.

Time out for a shopping break.

I’m over here, Mom. In the Juniors section.

Hurry up. The mall closes in one hour.

Do you have any of those sport coats with elbow patches?

This watch can’t keep time. I’m going to get a new one.

Back off, sister. I saw it first.

Green is definitely not your color.

That outfit deserves a big thumbs-up.

Look at the cool new shoes I got!

ndianapolis and Conseco Fieldhouse continue to be Big Ten basketball’s home away from home. The Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament returns to Indianapolis for the 16th time in 17 years and makes its 11th visit to Conseco F ieldhouse. This season, the B ig Ten M en’s B asketball Tournament also r eturns to the F ieldhouse, mar king the sev enth occasion both events have been in I ndianapolis. The 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Big Ten Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments also were in the Circle City. Big Ten basketball fans don’t have to scratch their heads and wonder why. Indianapolis is a city that offers unmatched conv enience. Downtown hotels, r estaurants, cultural attractions, shopping, nightlife and Conseco Fieldhouse are all located within a few blocks of one another. Once in Indy, you can park the car. Conseco Fieldhouse is, in a word, magnificent. Inspired by the state of Indiana’s love affair with basketball and the historic gymnasiums that grace the Hoosier landscape, the Fieldhouse combines nostalgia and tradition with the modern amenities of today’s newest and best basketball arenas. It is basketball’s version of going “back to the futur e.” Designed as a basketball venue first and a multi-purpose arena second, the $183 million Conseco F ieldhouse has a seating capacity of mor e than 18,000. That includes 69 suites, two par ty suites and 2,400 club seats. Because the Fieldhouse is not shaped like the traditional oval to also accommodate hockey (although it does host hockey and figure skating events), the sightlines from the vast majority of seats are outstanding. More than that, though, is the feeling of basketball that oozes from virtually every nook and cranny of the building, which is best kno wn as the home of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers and WNBA’s Indiana Fever. The spectacular IU H ealth E ntry Pavilion, designed to look like an old train station, enables spectators to enter the building, pur chase tickets (if necessar y) and pass through security without having to endure the elements. Once past the ticket scr eeners, the semi-cir cular G rand S taircase leads to the concourses and the seating bo wl itself. The concourses ar e wide and themed b y their sponsors, and basketball memorabilia can be vie wed every few feet. For the both the men ’s and women’s tournaments, the expansiv e trophy cases just past the G rand Staircase again will be filled with memorabilia supplied by the Big Ten institutions. Indianapolis is tr uly a “ fan friendly” city and the B ig Ten Basketball Tournaments have become quite the ev ent for the ar ea. With 15 women ’s tournaments and six men’s events under its belt, Indianapolis has welcomed more than 1.5 million Big Ten basketball fans to the Circle City since 1995. In the first year that the men’s tournament was held at Conseco Fieldhouse, the conference recorded sellout crowds of 18,996 in each of the last four sessions of the 2002 ev ent and totaled 94,402 fans thr ough the turnstiles during the four-day affair . I n 2006, the women ’s tournament established an overall attendance r ecord of 38,635 with a r ecord average of 7,728 spectators per session. As important as how the Fieldhouse is designed is wher e it is located. Situated near the southeast corner of what locals r efer to as the “M ile Square,” the Fieldhouse is just steps from restaurants, pubs, shopping (Circle Centre Mall is one block away) and hotels. Combined with the pr esence of Lucas Oil Stadium and the I ndiana Convention Center thr ee blocks w est, the Fieldhouse location is an ideal fit into a w ell-planned downtown area.

Conseco Fieldhouse combines nostalgia and tr adition with the moder n amenities of today’s newest and best basketball arenas.

Indeed, even away from the Fieldhouse, Big Ten fans can find themselves as part of a festive mix that creates a lively tournament atmosphere. There are more than 5,500 hotel r ooms within a 10-minute walk of the Fieldhouse, and for those who do drive, 72,000 parking spaces are within the same radius. Several of the hotels, the Indiana Convention Center and Circle Centre Mall are linked by a system of enclosed skywalks. There’s even more convenience for trav elers: Indianapolis International Airport (opened in 2008) is just 15 minutes fr om do wntown, and the city , dubbed the “Crossroads of America,” is easily accessible from most Big Ten destinations via interstate highways. Besides the basketball, dining and nightlife, ther e is much mor e to see and do while in I ndy. White River State Park is a 250-acre state park on the western edge of the M ile S quare. I t includes the I ndiana S tate M useum, Indianapolis Zoo, a 450-seat IMAX Theater, the National Institute of Fitness and Sport, the Eiteljorg Museum of Western and Indian Art, Military Park, White River Gardens, the Congressional Medal of Honor Memorial and the River Promenade. The park also includes the headquar ters of the N ational Collegiate Athletic Association and its Hall of Champions. Just a shor t driv e fr om do wntown is the world famous I ndianapolis Motor Speedway and its H all of Fame Museum. Other popular attractions include the I ndianapolis M useum of Ar t, the Childr en’s M useum of Indianapolis (a place wher e an adult can feel like a kid again) and the picturesque Canal Walk, an ideal place to walk or jog. Indianapolis is a safe, clean, vibrant and do wnright fun place to be, especially when basketballs ar e bouncing. It’s a big city that has small-to wn appeal. It’s a place where visitors — and the Big Ten basketball family — can feel right at home.

LEGENDS AND LEADERS T H E

T E N

ver the past several months, the Big Ten has made a series of announcements prompted by the upcoming addition of Nebraska, the confer ence’s 12th member school. The Big T en unveiled a new logo, names for its two football divisions, and names for 18 tr

ophies honoring coaches,

teams and student-athletes beginning with the 2011 football season. The confer

ence also

announced that the inaugural Big T en Football Championship Game will be played on Dec. 3, 2011, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and will be televised in prime time by FOX Sports. “When w e announced football division alignments in S eptember, other associated decisions had not yet been made. We wanted to take some time to listen, carefully consider, and make choices that would best honor our history and traditions, r eflect our cor e values and characteristics, and tell our story,” said Big Ten Commissioner James E. Delany. “We involved many thoughtful, dedicated pr ofessionals and w e listened to many ideas from our member schools, alumni and fans.” The new Big Ten logo was developed by Michael Bierut and Michael Gericke of the international design firm P entagram. “The new Big Ten logo was dev eloped to symboliz e the confer ence’s future, as well as its rich heritage, strong tradition of competition, academic leadership and passionate alumni,” said Gericke. “Its contemporary collegiate lettering includes an embedded numeral ‘10’ in the wor d ‘BIG,’ which allows fans to see ‘BIG’ and ‘10’ in a single wor d.” The confer ence announced that its football divisions, star ting with the 2011 season, will be the Legends D ivision and the Leaders D ivision. A breakdown of the divisions is listed abo ve. “ ‘Legends’ is a nod to our histor y and to the people associated with our schools who ar e widely r ecognized as legends — student-athletes, coaches, alumni and faculty . ‘Leaders ’ looks to the futur e as w e r emain committed to fostering leadership in our student-athletes who are encouraged to lead in their own way for the rest of their lives, in their families, in their communities and in their chosen pr ofessions,” said D elany. “ The division names ar e intended to be both inspirational and aspirational for all of our student-athletes.”

DIVISION

Finally, the Big Ten announced the names of 18 tr ophies to honor a small sampling of the countless student-athletes and coaches who hav e contributed to the confer ence’s rich and storied histor y. Starting with the 2011 season, the B ig Ten will honor its top football student-athletes with these newly named trophies. “These trophies will honor our legends and leaders for generations to come,” said Delany. “The names on these trophies are fitting tributes to the hundreds of thousands of student-athletes and coaches whose har d wor k and dedication hav e contributed to the legacy of the B ig Ten Conference over the past 115 y ears.” For more information, please go to www.bigten.org.

The confer ence’s 100-plus years of history, strong tradition of competitive intercollegiate athletic programs, vast and passionate alumni base, and consistent leadership in inno vations position the B ig Ten and its entir e community firmly on the Big Stage. The Big Ten has sustained a compr ehensive set of shar ed practices and policies that enfor ce the priority of academics and emphasize the values of integrity, fairness and competitiv eness in all aspects of its student-athletes ’ lives, with the ult imate goal of ensuring that each individual has the oppor tunity to live a Big Life. Student-Athlete Opportunities

• Big Ten universities provide more than $112 million in dir ect financial aid to mor e than 8,700 men and women student-athletes who compete for 25 championships, 12 for men and 13 for women. • Conference institutions sponsor br oadbased athletics pr ograms with 275 teams. Other than the I vy League, the B ig Ten has the most br oad-based athletic pr ograms in the United States.

Top Academic Institutions

• Big Ten univ ersities ar e members of the nation’s only conference whose constituency is entirely composed of institutions that ar e members of the AA U, a prestigious association of major academic and research institutions in the United States and Canada. • The Big Ten leads all confer ences with the highest number of ranked graduate school programs among the top 25 accor ding to U.S. N ews and World R eport in 2010. The Big Ten ranks first with 24 top-25 programs in the fields of law , medical (r esearch and primary care), business and engineering.

More Television Exposure

• The Big Ten’s media agr eements with CBS Sports, ABC/ESPN , the B ig Ten N etwork and CBS College S ports N etwork pr ovide the confer ence with its gr eatest television exposure ever. • In 2006, the B ig Ten cr eated the first national confer ence-owned television network devoted to the athletic and academic programs of a single confer ence. The B ig Ten N etwork launched on A ug. 30, 2007, and became the first ne w network in cable or satellite television history to reach 30 million homes in its first 30 days. The Big Ten Network is now available to an estimated 75 million households thr ough agr eements with more than 300 cable, satellite and telco affiliates in all 50 states and Canada. The network is av ailable on cable in 19 of the nation’s 20 largest media markets. • The B ig Ten’s ne w media agr eements hav e resulted in the pr oduction and distribution of mor e than 850 ev ents nationally on an annual basis, compared to 300 events in the final year of the previous agreements. 8

Nation’s Best Fans

• Big Ten fans ar e some of the nation ’s most supportive, with mor e than 8.9 million patrons attending confer ence home contests during the 2009-10 seasons for football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball alone. • During the last thr ee decades, the conference has ranked either N o. 1 or N o. 2 nationally in football, men’s basketball, volleyball and wrestling attendance and among the top three in women’s basketball. • The Big Ten leads all conferences with more than 4.4 million living alumni and mor e than 300,000 undergraduate students attending Big Ten universities.

Successful Programs

• During the 2009-10 season, the B ig Ten claimed six team national championships, including titles for Iowa wrestling, Michigan men’s gymnastics, O hio S tate synchr onized swimming, Penn State fencing and women’s volleyball and Purdue women’s golf. • The B ig Ten leads all confer ences with national titles in 13 differ ent NCAA-sponsored championships since 2000-01. Ov er that time period, the B ig Ten has pr oduced championships in cr oss countr y, fencing, field hockey , golf , gymnastics, ice hockey , lacrosse, soccer , softball, tennis, track and field, volleyball and wrestling.

Leadership in Gender Equity

• Since 1992, the B ig Ten has sho wn a str ong commitment to incr easing oppor tunities for women in spor ts and exposur e of women ’s athletics b y establishing a multi-phased gender equity program. In that time, the Big Ten has created in excess of 2,000 new opportunities for women student-athletes and established 28 ne w women’s teams, while expanding the number of women’s championships to 13 by adding field hockey, soccer and rowing. In addition, the Big Ten Network became the first national networ k to commit to ev ent equality during the 2010-11 academic y ear, producing and distributing a substantially equal number of men ’s and women ’s ev ents across all platforms.

• As par t of the gender equity action plan, the Big Ten was the first conference to voluntarily adopt male/female par ticipation goals for student-athletes in 1992. The Big Ten initiated a five-year plan for conference members to commit to a 60 per cent/40 percent male-to-female student-athlete participation ratio. This was achieved as a conference by 1997 and 2000 was the first year that all institutions individually met this goal. During the 2009-10 y ear, all institutions w ere in compliance and the conference averaged a 52/48 male-to-female participation ratio.

Building the Future • In 1989, the Big Ten created a community outreach pr ogram — SCORE (S uccess Comes O ut of R eading E veryday), which partners the confer ence with two Chicago elementary schools to improve reading performances. What began with one school, two grade lev els and fiv e classr ooms has grown in its 21st y ear to include grades kindergarten thr ough eighth, encompassing all classes and students at M elody School and Louis Armstrong School. • Following the national tragedy on S ept. 11, 2001, the Big Ten, through its intercollegiate athletic depar tment revenues, pledged a $1 million scholarship contribution to assist the families of those affected b y the terr orist attacks. The conference’s donation is called the “B ig Ten 9-11 Scholarship F und,” and the $1 million contribution will be drawn from conference reserves which are generated as a result of football and men’s basketball participation in N CAA, bo wl and r egularseason television opportunities. • The B ig Ten has established numer ous community programs surrounding the B ig Ten M en’s and Women’s B asketball Tournaments, including the Wayne D uke Postgraduate A ward Scholarship , the B ig Ten Career Fair, the H oops Day 5K and a partnership with the P ink Ribbon Connection, a local I ndianapolis br east cancer organization.

Company Profile

Why the Network Was Created

Headquartered in Chicago, the B ig Ten Network is the first internationally distributed television networ k dedicated to co vering one of America’s premier collegiate conferences. With more than 700 spor ts events across all platforms, and vir tually all of them in high definition, the B ig Ten Network is the ultimate destination for Big Ten fans and alumni acr oss the country. The network is on the air 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The B ig Ten N etwork was cr eated to pr ovide the confer ence with more national exposur e for B ig Ten sports while enhancing its existing television agreements with its other television par tners.

Where to Find Us The networ k is av ailable to an estimated 75 million households, through agreements with mor e than 300 cable, satellite and telco affiliates in all 50 states and Canada.That includes existing distribution agreements with each of the nation ’s 10 largest cable, satellite and telco providers. The network also is distributed internationally on four continents — North and South America, Asia and Europe.

Big Ten Network Programming The Big Ten Network annually televises more than 350 live events and streams an additional 300-plus events. Each year’s schedule is comprised of approximately 35-40 football games, 105 regular season men’s basketball games, B ig Ten M en’s B asketball Tournament games, 55 women ’s basketball games, Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournament games, hundreds of additional Olympic sports events and dozens of Big Ten championship events. In addition to liv e ev ent co verage, the networ k offers pr egame and postgame shows and original programming such as The Journey and Big Ten I cons. Each campus also has the oppor tunity to pr oduce original campus programming highlighting various aspects of campus life and the qualities that make each university unique.

The Big Ten Network’s Impact The network has provided an additional revenue source for Big Ten institutions at a time of continued decr eases in state support. The network also has provided significant and additional exposur e for all B ig Ten men’s and women’s spor ts, some of which pr eviously r eceived little or no television exposure. It also helps with r ecruiting in all spor ts as the ability for par ents to watch their childr en compete fr om anywher e acr oss the countr y is a major selling point.

Committed to Women’s Sports No other network devotes itself to women’s sports as much as the Big Ten N etwork. The networ k schedule annually featur es mor e than 200 women’s events in a wide cr oss-section of spor ts. Each w eek during the academic y ear, the networ k pr oduces and airs the B ig Ten Women’s Show, a program dedicated exclusively to the highlights and accomplishments of female Big Ten student-athletes.

Career Experience: Streaming and Student U Beyond the networ k’s 350 televised ev ents, the networ k streamed more than 300 events across a variety of sports. These games are available live and on-demand on the Big Ten Network’s website. Many of these streamed events are “Student U” events. Shot, produced and announced entir ely by Big Ten students, the networ k’s Student U initiativ e gives students on ev ery Big Ten campus a chance to gain hands-on experience in the highly competitive career field of television production, giving launch to their own television careers.

< Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger

Iowa’s Melsahn Basabe ^

By Taylor Thomas

ome might say it takes v eterans to make a title r un, but this year, it is the Big Ten’s youngsters who are playing a pivotal part in their teams’ success. Role players make a difference, and this year those role players are the talented freshmen and sophomores. The conference’s underclassmen have appeared in the top 10 of nearly every Big Ten statistical category, making the class one of the deepest in Big Ten history. These rising stars are providing the boost each Big Ten team needs in order to make a run in the Big Ten Tournament. The team that has garner ed the most success fr om its young players may be Ohio State. Having to follow in the footsteps of the 2010 National Player of the Year can be a daunting task for most, ho wever, Jared Sullinger, Aaron Craft and Deshaun Thomas have made immediate impacts and ar e three of the most talented freshmen in the country. Sullinger showed he had the tools to fill the void created by the loss of Evan Turner, setting a school freshman record with 40 points against IUPUI on D ec. 9, 2010. Sullinger has earned plenty of r ecognition this season, br eaking the r ecord for most B ig Ten Player of the Week awards won b y a fr eshman and earning a spot on the midseason top 30 lists for the Wooden and N aismith awar ds. C raft has shown maturity in his style of play, especially defensively. He has led all conference freshmen in steals and assists, also pacing the B uckeyes in both categories. Thomas became Ohio State’s second player to be named F reshman of the Week this season after averaging 15.5 points and 6.0 rebounds against Morehead State and M iami (O hio) in N ovember. This y ear, the dynamic freshman trio of Sullinger, Craft and Thomas helped the Scarlet and Gray to one of the best star ts in program history. Iowa welcomed new head coach Fran McCaffery this season, as well as six talented freshmen including Melsahn Basabe, Roy Devyn Marble and Zach

McCabe. Basabe is the second Iowa freshman to collect over 240 points, 150 rebounds and 30 blocks. M arble is also making quite an impact, r ecording one of his best per formances in a victor y over Indiana in which he w ent 8for-13 from the field with 18 points. McCabe came out of the gates str ong, recording 63 points and 32 rebounds in the team’s first six games. Iowa’s talented sophomore Eric May has played a significant role on the team early in his career, becoming a double-digit contributor. “I asked my fr eshmen to come out playing w ell right away,” McCaffery said. “ They have to play like v eterans immediately, and that ’s why I r eally like what I’ve seen so far in par ticular from Basabe, McCabe and Marble.”

“At times, it is difficult to be a fr eshman ...We hav e a good group of young unselfish players.” — Purdue head coach Matt Painter At Wisconsin, Josh G asser’s name will for ever be etched in his school ’s record book for his per formance against N orthwestern. The guar d put together the first triple-double in pr ogram histor y. H is 10 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists against the Wildcats marked the first official tripledouble by a Big Ten freshman and was the first by any player in a conference game since 2001. “First and for emost, play ers ar e expected to per form,” Wisconsin head coach Bo R yan said. “E veryone is expected to fulfill their r esponsibilities, and Josh is doing a great job which was evident with his performance against Northwestern. He’s getting better every day.” Tim Hardaway Jr., Jordan Morgan and Darius Morris have been consistent producers for Michigan head coach John Beilein. Hardaway has led the team in free-throw percentage and rebounds and is among the confer ence’s top-scoring

freshmen. Morgan has been a key to the Wolverines’ offensive attack, providing substantial minutes and becoming a double-digit scor er. After earning 19 star ts and averaging just over four points per game last season, Morris is among the Big Ten’s elite in scoring and among the NCAA’s best in assists. Keith Appling has become a consistent contributor in M ichigan State’s starting lineup. The Detroit, Mich., native scored a season-high 19 points, including fiv e straight in o vertime, in M ichigan S tate’s win o ver N orthwestern on J an. 15. H e has also been a defensiv e boost for the Spartans, helping shut down some of the conference’s top offensive threats. Indiana features a stable of young talent in newcomers Will Sheehey and Victor Oladipo and sophomores Christian Watford and Jordan Hulls. After injuries plagued the H oosiers this season, S heehey and O ladipo needed to show qualities of upperclassmen quicker than most. The two have made an immediate impact for Indiana, as Oladipo is among the team leaders in scoring and rebounding and Sheehey has had numer ous impressive outings for the Hoosiers, including a team-leading 14 points against P urdue. Watford has been among the confer ence’s top scorers for the majority of the season, while Hulls has been a solid star ter at point guard. “I think the two freshmen have really set the standards for young players and how they work,” Indiana head coach Tom Crean said. “They are learning how to compete every day. They have gone above and beyond the typical freshman play. If you have a great work ethic and a real desire to improve, it gives you a chance to really grow.” Minnesota head coach Tubby Smith has also dealt with the injur y bug and has r elied on his fr eshman trio of M averick Ahanmisi, Chip Armelin and Austin Hollins. Armelin has contributed to the Golden Gophers by recording a career-high 14 points in 23 minutes against confer ence-leading Ohio State, while Ahanmisi and Hollins continue to provide solid minutes off the bench.

Another first-y ear play er who has seen his r ole incr ease dramatically throughout the season is Illinois’ Jereme Richmond. Playing on a team dominated b y seniors, Richmond has ranked among the confer ence’s best in field-goal percentage. Sophomore D.J. Richardson has duplicated his efforts from last season during which he was named conference Co-Freshman of the Year, putting up consistent numbers as a mainstay in the I llini starting five. Just up the r oad fr om I llinois, N orthwestern’s stock of y oung talent includes freshman JerShon Cobb and sophomores Alex Marcotullio, Austin Nichols, Reggie Hearn and D rew C rawford. C rawford, the 2010 B ig Ten Co-Freshman of the Year, has established himself as one of the top sharpshooters in the conference, regularly scoring in double figures. Penn S tate has r otated thr ee fr eshmen in its lineup this season — Tre Bowman, Jermaine Marshall and B illy Oliver. All thr ee have turned in solid performances off the bench, including an 18-point outburst fr om Marshall against Purdue. Rounding out the conference are Purdue’s talented youngsters led by sophomores D.J. Byrd and Kelsey Barlow and freshmen Terone Johnson and Travis Carroll. Byrd and B arlow have pitched in significant minutes for the Boilermakers, productively filling voids in the starting lineup. Johnson and Carroll have logged substantial playing time for the O ld Gold and Black, seeing increased action and multiple starting assignments this season. “At times, it is difficult to be a fr eshman,” P urdue head coach M att Painter said. “J ohnson and Carr oll have done a r eally good job for us and will continue to make strides to become better. I think both guys hav e really stepped up. We have a good group of young unselfish players.” When glancing through the Big Ten statistical leaders of the 2010-11 season, it will not come as a surprise to find a multitude of freshmen and sophomores leading the categories. The host of young talent this year shows that even the new kids can make an impact for y ears to come.

Penn State’s Talor Battle ^

As the cliché goes, str ength comes in numbers. For the numer ous upperclassmen the Big T en boasts this season, that phrase rings true yet again. Ohio State’s Jon Diebler , David Lighty and Dallas Lauder dale have been part of their team’s starting lineup for thr ee seasons, helping the Buckeyes to one of the best starts in school history this year. Lighty and Diebler will r ound out their car eers as members of the Big T en’s 1,000-points club, while Lauderdale will exit as one of the most pr olific shot-blockers in school history. Purdue’s E’Twaun Moore and JaJuan Johnson have become two of the most decorated student-athletes to play in West Lafayette. Johnson has recorded more than 1,700 points, 700 r ebounds and 200 blocks in his car eer, while Moor e r ecently br oke the Pur due r ecord for games started and became the 25th player in confer ence history to scor e 2,000 career points. Both players wer e also named to the midseason top 30 lists for the W ooden and Naismith awards. Illinois will look to seniors Demetri McCamey , Mike Davis and Mike Tisdale for a postseason sur ge. After consistently leading the squad in scoring and assists, McCamey has posted mor e than 1,500 car eer points and 600 career assists, becoming just the sixth player in Big Ten history to accomplish the feat. The Michigan State senior class of Kalin Lucas, Durr ell Summers and Mike Kebler is just the seventh class in school history to win mor e than 100 games. Lucas, who enter ed this season as a two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection, will finish his senior campaign ranked in the program’s top 10 in points, fr ee throws and assists. Talor Battle will leave Penn State as one of the most talented point guards to wear the Nittany Lion unifor m. He is on pace to finish among Penn State’s best in nearly every major statistical category and became the second Big Ten player in the last decade to reach 2,000 career points.

Wisconsin senior Jon Leuer and junior Jor dan Taylor have established themselves as one of the country’ s best scoring duos. Leuer , a N aismith and W ooden A ward midseason top-30 member , was welcomed into the Big T en’s 1,000-points club this season, becoming the 36th player in Badger history to eclipse the milestone. Minnesota’s Blake Hoffarber and Northwester n’s Michael Thompson have etched their names into their r espective schools’ r ecords books. Hoffarber will leave as the Golden Gophers’ career leader in three-point attempts and field goals, while Thompson moved into first place in career assists and will depart N orthwester n as the pr ogram’s all-time leader in games started. Iowa’s Matt Gatens and Jarryd Cole have achieved several milestones in their car eers, with Gatens eclipsing 1,000 car eer points and Cole exceeding 400 career rebounds. With no four-year players on its roster, Indiana looks to junior Verdell Jones III for veteran leadership. Jones is the 42nd player in pr ogram history to reach 1,000 points in his career. Michigan’s junior captains of Zack Novak and Stu Douglass have helped lead the young W olverines this season, ranking in the top five in scoring for the Maize and Blue this season. Along with flooding several of the confer ence’s major statistical categories, these players have shown dedication to their r espective schools and in the pr ocess have set numer ous records. Each Big T en team will r ely on these r ecord-breakers to make a run deep into the 2011 Big Ten Tournament. Every player hopes to leave his mark, and this talented class of veterans is guaranteed to be r emembered for years to come.

NORTHWESTERN W I L D C A T S

orthwestern University is one of the country’s leading private research universities, with 11 schools located on two lakefront campuses in Evanston and Chicago, Ill., and a new branch campus in Doha, Qatar. It has approximately 17,000 full- and part-time students, 2,500 full-time faculty, and an annual budget of almost $1.25 billion. Excellence has been Northwestern’s goal since nine men met in 1850 to establish an educational institution that would serve the people of the N orthwest Territory — an area that now includes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota — and rival any in the eastern United States. After completing its first building in 1855, Northwestern began classes that fall with two faculty members and 10 male students. By 1900 the University was composed of a liberal arts college and six professional schools, including the schools of law and medicine, with a total of 2,700 students. At the heart of a Northwestern education is the belief that a solid foundation in the liberal arts is essential, regardless of one’s future plans. All students in the six undergraduate schools take courses in science, mathematics and technology, individual and social behavior, historical studies, the humanities, and fine and performing arts. The University is recognized both nationally and internationally for the excellence of its educational programs at all levels. U.S. News & World Report consistently ranks the University’s undergraduate programs among the best in the country. Among graduate programs, the Kellogg School of Management regularly ranks among the top five business schools in the country for both its traditional curriculum and its executive master’s program. U.S. News & World Report rankings placed Northwestern’s School of Law in the top 10, the Feinberg School of Medicine in the top 20, and Human Movement Sciences in the top 10.

PENN STATE N I T T A N Y

L I O N S

enn State received its state charter in 1855 as one of the nation’s first colleges of scientific agriculture. The campus was located in Centre County on 200 acres of fertile land donated by James Irvin, a partner in the Centre Furnace iron works (remains of which can be seen today along East College Avenue). Penn State admitted its first students in 1859. Founding President Evan Pugh, a chemist, hoped to expand the curriculum beyond agriculture to include other scientific studies and engineering. Pugh and similar visionaries in other states lobbied for Congressional passage of the Morrill Land-Grant Act in 1862. The act enabled states to sell federal land and use the income to support colleges “where the leading object shall be, without excluding scientific and classical studies ... to teach agriculture and the mechanic arts (engineering) ... in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in all the pursuits and professions of life.” In 1863, the Pennsylvania legislature designated Penn State the Commonwealth’s sole land-grant institution. But Pugh died the following year, and the Pennsylvania State College drifted, not being especially distinctive for any kind of study. One positive event during those troubled years was the admission of the first women students in 1871. The University has conferred approximately 600,000 degrees since its founding, but academic quality has kept pace with quantitative growth. For example, Penn State was named one of the nation’s best colleges and universities by the American public in a recent Gallup Poll, and nearly 40 of its academic programs regularly rank among the 10 best in their field nationwide.

FACES OF THE BIG TEN JAJUAN JOHNSON Johnson is one of the most v ersatile big men in the college game, combining a punishing inside game with range to the three-point line. He is an adv anced shot blocker and still developing as a rebounder, despite leading the Boilermakers on the boards in 2009-10. He is known for his ability to finish baskets through contact and shoots a high v olume of fr ee throws. H e has continued his impr ovement on the glass and has raised his offensiv e efficiency as a senior this season. Last year, Johnson was named second-team All-Big Ten and to the confer ence’s all-defensive team. In summer 2010, he play ed for the USA Men’s Select team.

WISCONSIN B A D G E R S

enowned for the Wisconsin Idea, the University of Wisconsin applies the principle that education should influence and improve people’s lives beyond the boundaries of the classroom. Wisconsin’s mission is for students, faculty and staff to apply in- and out-of-classroom learning in ways that have significant and positive impact on the state of Wisconsin, nation and world. UW students are encouraged to become problem solvers, extraordinary citizens, and national and global leaders. Opportunities for students make Wisconsin unique in higher education. Students can take part in academic research, hold internships, travel abroad, explore leadership opportunities and most important, apply their learning in “real world” situations. Wisconsin’s academic environment is challenging but students are encouraged to grow intellectually by peers and professors. UW also is an active campus with students engaged in diverse activities outside of the classroom. The Wisconsin legacy of campus spirit and student involvement is world famous. Whether it’s cheering on the Badgers, spending time on the Memorial Union Terrace or sledding down Bascom Hill in the winter, UW students make connections with other students, faculty, staff and alumni that are life long. The campus of the university is nestled between two lakes and located in a capital city with a bustling downtown. Madison gives you the feeling of being in a small city with the benefits of an urban environment. At Wisconsin, today’s experts train tomorrow’s leaders at a university that is dedicated to advancing knowledge in innovative ways.

FACES OF THE BIG TEN JON LEUER Leuer is widely considered one of the top players in the B ig Ten after leading the Badgers in scoring, rebounding and blocks as a junior last season. Fully healed from a wrist injur y that cost him nine games to ward the end of last y ear, this senior possesses an inside-outside game perfectly suited for the swing offense. He possesses an accurate jumper that extends to thr ee-point range and ex cellent ball-handling abilities. Leuer entered high school as a guar d, but after a 10-inch gr owth spur t befor e senior year, moved to the post. Leuer was named to the 2011 P reseason All-Big Ten team and was selected to the Wooden Award Midseason Top 30 list.
