Senior writer from the Big Ten Network, Tom Dienhart, joined the Mike Heller Show on
Tuesday to talk Big Ten basketball.

The top five teams in the Big Ten all have a shot to win the conference, but
Dienhart believes if Michigan can beat Michigan St, they will be in control.
"No doubt about it Michigan will be in the driver's seat if they can get
out of East Lansing with a win." Dienhart also mentioned Wisconsin and
Indiana having big weeks this week.

Dienhart agrees with Indiana being ranked number one in the AP poll. "I would say
Indiana is the best choice. Yeah, the loss at Illinois hurts, but to bounce
back like they did and win in impressive fashion at Ohio St. was awfully
impressive."

Dienhart said that this may be Bo Ryan's best coaching job ever. "Nobody saw this,
obviously with the injury to Gasser at the start of season, to pull this team
together like this, 8-3 a game back in mid-February is just astounding."
