Michigan may have the best story coming into the Big Ten this season. Being left out of the NCAA tournament, Michigan made it all the way through the WNIT tournament and winning it all. This will be absolute fuel for them to try to take the top spot in the B1G this upcoming season. Katelynn Flaherty and Hallie Thome led the team in points last season, a returning dual threat any coach in the Big Ten would like to have. Can they win the league? It’s quite possible.
