Can you feel it ladies and gentlemen? College basketball is officially here. The Big Ten basketball regular season is scheduled to kick off Friday night with a full-slate of action.
But let's not forget how entertaining the past two weeks of exhibition hoops have been.
We have seen everything from dunks, to blocks to a freshman guard scoring seven points in a span of 37 seconds.
With that said, let's go ahead and count down the top 10 plays from this year's Big Ten exhibition games.
