The 2014-15 Big Ten men's basketball exhibition season is in the books, and it was an exciting one. We saw thunderous dunks, deep 3-pointers, behind-the-back passes and buzzer beaters.

But now, we ask, what was the best of the best?

With the regular season set to begin on Friday night, I took a look back at the top plays from the exhibition hoops season.

Here we go.

Hint: Purdue fans will like what I'm seeing!
