We'll update this post throughout the morning with tidbits from Big Ten Basketball Media Day. It may not be a surprise to hear that the media picked Indiana's Cody Zeller as the preseason Player of the Year and that Indiana is their choice to win it all. Penn State is picked to win the women's title and Penn State's Alex Bentley Ohio State's Tayler Hill shared the Player of the Year pick.

BTN's Tom Dienhart and Brent Yarina rolled out their individual lists too. Read Dienhart's list here and read Yarina's list here. You should get caught up on all of the uniform changes for men's basketball teams this season. BTN.com's Yarina tracks these changes and covered them in a  recent post.
