There's no time to pause for intermission during this year's Big Ten basketball season.

This game will be a rematch of a 20-point Michigan State victory earlier this month, but both teams should be vastly improved the second time they meet. The No. 23 Hoosiers are a dynamic three-point shooting team that's tough to stop when they're hitting shots. Michigan State appears to be having a down year, but in time Tom Izzo's team can improve and become a threat come March.

Wisconsin is the favorite to win the Big Ten and hasn't done much to change any minds to this point. Frank Kaminsky excels at both scoring and rebounding for the No. 5 Badgers, and he's a player of the year candidate in the league. It'll be interesting to see if Indiana has any answer for him on defense in this game.

These two rivals appear to be headed in different directions, with Michigan losing leading scorer Caris Levert for the season due to injury. But you can throw out the records anytime these teams play. Ohio State has been hot recently behind the superb performance of freshman sensation D'Angelo Russell.

In its inaugural Big Ten season, Maryland has proven to be a force to be reckoned with on the court. The Terrapins are a solid defensive team with a group of talented guards and wing players that are tough to match up against. Wisconsin will face a difficult challenge on the road in a hostile environment at the Comcast Center.
