The basketball fans’ guide to shopping

Have you seen this season’s new shirts?

Let’s go for a smoothie in the food court.

I’m gonna need this much closet space for the clothes I bought.

Time out for a shopping break.

I’m over here, Mom. In the Juniors section.

Hurry up. The mall closes in one hour.

Do you have any of those sport coats

with elbow patches?

This watch can’t keep time. I’m going to get a new one.

Back off, sister. I saw it first.

Green is definitely not your color.

That outfit deserves a big thumbs-up.

Look at the cool new shoes I got!

Make sure you’re at the top of your fashion game. Shop Circle Centre, where you’ll find Carson Pirie Scott, Nordstrom, LOFT, Banana Republic, For Love 21, H&M, Harry & Izzy’s, Lucky Brand, and so much more.

FROM THE OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER

Dear Big Ten Basketball Fans:

On behalf of the Big Ten Conference and its member institutions, welcome to Indianapolis and Conseco Fieldhouse

for the 2011 Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament.

The Big Ten is excited to return to Indianapolis for the fourth consecutive year and the seventh time in men’s tour-

nament history. Both I ndianapolis and the state of I ndiana have a tr ue passion for the game of basketball and hav e

embraced our tournaments as pr emier events. Along with outstanding cr owds, down-to-the-wire games and national

television exposure, the tournaments also featur e exciting experiences off the cour t. This year’s events include the B ig

Ten Conference Career Expo, the Wayne Duke Postgraduate Awards, a championship pep rally and the Big Ten Hoops

Day 5K.

One of the special qualities of this ev ent is the lo yalty and enthusiasm of its suppor ters. Since 1998, the B ig Ten

Men’s Basketball Tournament has w elcomed more than 1.2 million fans thr ough the turnstiles, an av erage of o ver

18,000 fans per session.

For more than a century, Big Ten Conference presidents, faculty, administrators, coaches and student-athletes hav e

embodied the values of competition, integrity and fair play. As a fan, your commitment to a safe and healthy environ-

ment is vital to making this tournament enjo yable for all spectators and for those competing today .

While we have many people and organizations to thank for helping make this tournament a success, the conference

also owes a debt of gratitude to M ayor Greg Ballard, the city of I ndianapolis, Pacers Sports and E ntertainment and

Indiana Sports Corp, who are our gracious hosts.

The Big Ten also recognizes and thanks its television partners, CBS Sports, ESPN, ESPN2 and the Big Ten Network,

for their coverage of this tournament.

We would also like to ackno wledge the Big Ten Conference corporate partners and local contributors who help us

present a first-class event for our teams and fans.

Again, welcome to Indianapolis and the 2011 B ig Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament. Enjoy this extraordinary city

and all it has to offer, including the best men’s college basketball in the countr y.

Sincerely,

James E. Delany

Commissioner

INDIANAPOLIS AND CONSECO FIELDHOUSEB I G T E N B A S K E T B A L L ’ S H O M E A W A Y F R O M H O M E

Indianapolis and Conseco Fieldhouse continue to be Big Ten basketball’shome away from home. The Big Ten Women’s Basketball Tournamentreturns to Indianapolis for the 16th time in 17 years and makes its 11th

visit to Conseco F ieldhouse. This season, the B ig Ten M en’s B asketballTournament also r eturns to the F ieldhouse, marking the sev enth occasionboth events have been in Indianapolis. The 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009and 2010 Big Ten Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments also were inthe Circle City.

Big Ten basketball fans don’t have to scratch their heads and won-der why.

Indianapolis is a city that offers unmatched conv enience. Downtownhotels, r estaurants, cultural attractions, shopping, nightlife and ConsecoFieldhouse are all located within a few blocks of one another. Once in Indy,you can park the car.

Conseco Fieldhouse is, in a word, magnificent. Inspired by the state ofIndiana’s love affair with basketball and the historic gymnasiums that gracethe Hoosier landscape, the Fieldhouse combines nostalgia and tradition withthe modern amenities of today’s newest and best basketball arenas.

It is basketball’s version of going “back to the futur e.”Designed as a basketball venue first and a multi-purpose arena second,

the $183 million Conseco F ieldhouse has a seating capacity of mor e than18,000. That includes 69 suites, two par ty suites and 2,400 club seats.Because the Fieldhouse is not shaped like the traditional oval to also accom-modate hockey (although it does host hockey and figure skating events), thesightlines from the vast majority of seats are outstanding.

More than that, though, is the feeling of basketball that oozes from vir-tually every nook and cranny of the building, which is best kno wn as thehome of the NBA’s Indiana Pacers and WNBA’s Indiana Fever. The spectac-ular IU H ealth Entry Pavilion, designed to look like an old train station,enables spectators to enter the building, pur chase tickets (if necessar y) andpass through security without having to endure the elements. Once past theticket scr eeners, the semi-cir cular Grand Staircase leads to the concoursesand the seating bo wl itself . The concourses ar e wide and themed b y theirsponsors, and basketball memorabilia can be vie wed every few feet.

For the both the men ’s and women’s tournaments, the expansiv e tro-phy cases just past the G rand Staircase again will be filled with memorabil-ia supplied by the Big Ten institutions.

Indianapolis is tr uly a “ fan friendly” city and the B ig Ten BasketballTournaments have become quite the ev ent for the ar ea. With 15 women ’stournaments and six men’s events under its belt, Indianapolis has welcomedmore than 1.5 million Big Ten basketball fans to the Circle City since 1995.In the first year that the men’s tournament was held at Conseco Fieldhouse,the conference recorded sellout crowds of 18,996 in each of the last four ses-sions of the 2002 event and totaled 94,402 fans thr ough the turnstiles dur-ing the four-day affair . I n 2006, the women ’s tournament established anoverall attendance r ecord of 38,635 with a r ecord average of 7,728 specta-tors per session.

As important as how the Fieldhouse is designed is wher e it is located.Situated near the southeast corner of what locals r efer to as the “M ileSquare,” the Fieldhouse is just steps from restaurants, pubs, shopping (CircleCentre Mall is one block away) and hotels. Combined with the pr esence ofLucas Oil Stadium and the I ndiana Convention Center thr ee blocks w est,the Fieldhouse location is an ideal fit into a w ell-planned downtown area.

Indeed, even away from the Fieldhouse, Big Ten fans can find themselves aspart of a festive mix that creates a lively tournament atmosphere.

There are more than 5,500 hotel r ooms within a 10-minute walk ofthe Fieldhouse, and for those who do drive, 72,000 parking spaces are with-in the same radius. Several of the hotels, the Indiana Convention Center andCircle Centre Mall are linked by a system of enclosed skywalks. There’s evenmore convenience for trav elers: Indianapolis International Airport (openedin 2008) is just 15 minutes fr om do wntown, and the city , dubbed the“Crossroads of America,” is easily accessible from most Big Ten destinationsvia interstate highways.

Besides the basketball, dining and nightlife, ther e is much mor e to seeand do while in Indy. White River State Park is a 250-acre state park on thewestern edge of the M ile S quare. I t includes the I ndiana S tate M useum,Indianapolis Zoo, a 450-seat IMAX Theater, the National Institute of Fitnessand Sport, the Eiteljorg Museum of Western and Indian Art, Military Park,White River Gardens, the Congressional Medal of Honor Memorial and theRiver Promenade. The park also includes the headquar ters of the N ationalCollegiate Athletic Association and its Hall of Champions.

Just a shor t driv e from downtown is the world famous I ndianapolisMotor Speedway and its H all of Fame Museum. Other popular attractionsinclude the I ndianapolis M useum of Ar t, the Childr en’s M useum ofIndianapolis (a place wher e an adult can feel like a kid again) and the pic-turesque Canal Walk, an ideal place to walk or jog.

Indianapolis is a safe, clean, vibrant and do wnright fun place to be,especially when basketballs ar e bouncing. It’s a big city that has small-to wnappeal. It’s a place where visitors — and the Big Ten basketball family — canfeel right at home.

Conseco Fieldhouse combines nostalgia and tr adition with the moder n amenities of today’s newestand best basketball arenas.

“When w e announced football division alignments in S eptember,other associated decisions had not yet been made. We wanted to take sometime to listen, carefully consider, and make choices that would best honorour history and traditions, r eflect our core values and characteristics, andtell our story,” said Big Ten Commissioner James E. Delany. “We involvedmany thoughtful, dedicated pr ofessionals and w e listened to many ideasfrom our member schools, alumni and fans.”

The new Big Ten logo was developed by Michael Bierut and MichaelGericke of the international design firm Pentagram.

“The new Big Ten logo was dev eloped to symboliz e the conference’sfuture, as well as its rich heritage, strong tradition of competition, academ-ic leadership and passionate alumni,” said Gericke. “Its contemporary col-legiate lettering includes an embedded numeral ‘10’ in the wor d ‘BIG,’which allows fans to see ‘BIG’ and ‘10’ in a single wor d.”

More Television Exposure• The Big Ten’s media agr eements with CBS

• In 2006, the B ig Ten cr eated the firstnational confer ence-owned television net-work devoted to the athletic and academicprograms of a single confer ence. The B igTen Network launched on A ug. 30, 2007,and became the first ne w network in cableor satellite television history to reach 30 mil-lion homes in its first 30 days.

Nation’s Best Fans• Big Ten fans ar e some of the nation ’s most

supportive, with mor e than 8.9 millionpatrons attending confer ence home contestsduring the 2009-10 seasons for football, men’sand women’s basketball and volleyball alone.

Leadership in Gender Equity• Since 1992, the B ig Ten has sho wn a str ong

commitment to incr easing oppor tunities forwomen in spor ts and exposur e of women ’sathletics by establishing a multi-phased gen-der equity program. In that time, the Big Tenhas created in excess of 2,000 new opportuni-ties for women student-athletes and estab-lished 28 new women’s teams, while expand-ing the number of women’s championships to13 by adding field hockey, soccer and rowing.In addition, the Big Ten Network became thefirst national networ k to commit to ev entequality during the 2010-11 academic y ear,producing and distributing a substantiallyequal number of men ’s and women ’s ev entsacross all platforms.

The B ig Ten Confer ence is comprised of world-class academic institutions who shar e a common mission ofresearch, graduate, pr ofessional and undergraduate teaching and public ser vice.

THE BIG TEN NETWORKT H E U L T I M A T E D E S T I N A T I O N F O R B I G T E N F A N S

tionally distributed television networ k dedicated to co vering one ofAmerica’s premier collegiate conferences.

Where to Find UsThe networ k is av ailable to an estimated 75 million households,

tutions at a time of continued decr eases in state support.

By Taylor Thomas

Some might say it takes v eterans to make a title r un, but this year, it is theBig Ten’s youngsters who are playing a pivotal part in their teams’ success.Role players make a difference, and this year those role players are the tal-

ented freshmen and sophomores. The conference’s underclassmen have appearedin the top 10 of nearly every Big Ten statistical category, making the class one ofthe deepest in Big Ten history. These rising stars are providing the boost each BigTen team needs in order to make a run in the Big Ten Tournament.

The team that has garnered the most success from its young players maybe Ohio State. Having to follow in the footsteps of the 2010 National Playerof the Year can be a daunting task for most, however, Jared Sullinger, AaronCraft and Deshaun Thomas have made immediate impacts and are three ofthe most talented freshmen in the country. Sullinger showed he had the toolsto fill the void created by the loss of Evan Turner, setting a school freshmanrecord with 40 points against IUPUI on Dec. 9, 2010. Sullinger has earnedplenty of r ecognition this season, br eaking the r ecord for most B ig TenPlayer of the Week awards won b y a fr eshman and earning a spot on themidseason top 30 lists for the Wooden and N aismith awar ds. C raft hasshown maturity in his style of play, especially defensively. He has led all con-ference freshmen in steals and assists, also pacing the B uckeyes in both cat-egories. Thomas became Ohio State’s second player to be named F reshmanof the Week this season after averaging 15.5 points and 6.0 rebounds againstMorehead State and M iami (Ohio) in N ovember. This year, the dynamicfreshman trio of Sullinger, Craft and Thomas helped the Scarlet and Gray toone of the best star ts in program history.

Iowa welcomed new head coach Fran McCaffery this season, as well as sixtalented freshmen including Melsahn Basabe, Roy Devyn Marble and Zach

McCabe. Basabe is the second Iowa freshman to collect over 240 points, 150rebounds and 30 blocks. M arble is also making quite an impact, r ecordingone of his best per formances in a victor y over Indiana in which he w ent 8-for-13 from the field with 18 points. McCabe came out of the gates strong,recording 63 points and 32 rebounds in the team’s first six games. Iowa’s tal-ented sophomore Eric May has played a significant role on the team early inhis career, becoming a double-digit contributor.

“I asked my fr eshmen to come out playing w ell right away,” McCafferysaid. “They have to play like v eterans immediately, and that ’s why I r eallylike what I’ve seen so far in par ticular from Basabe, McCabe and Marble.”

At Wisconsin, Josh Gasser’s name will for ever be etched in his school ’srecord book for his per formance against N orthwestern. The guar d puttogether the first triple-double in pr ogram histor y. H is 10 points, 12rebounds and 10 assists against the Wildcats marked the first official triple-double by a Big Ten freshman and was the first by any player in a conferencegame since 2001.

“First and for emost, play ers ar e expected to per form,” Wisconsin headcoach Bo R yan said. “E veryone is expected to fulfill their r esponsibilities,and Josh is doing a great job which was evident with his performance againstNorthwestern. He’s getting better every day.”

Tim Hardaway Jr., Jordan Morgan and Darius Morris have been consistentproducers for Michigan head coach John Beilein. Hardaway has led the team infree-throw percentage and rebounds and is among the confer ence’s top-scoring

“At times, it is difficult to be a fr eshman ...We have a goodgroup of young unselfish players.”

freshmen. Morgan has been a key to the Wolverines’ offensive attack, providingsubstantial minutes and becoming a double-digit scor er. After earning 19 star tsand averaging just over four points per game last season, Morris is among the BigTen’s elite in scoring and among the NCAA’s best in assists.

Keith Appling has become a consistent contributor in M ichigan State’sstarting lineup. The Detroit, Mich., native scored a season-high 19 points,including fiv e straight in o vertime, in M ichigan S tate’s win o verNorthwestern on J an. 15. H e has also been a defensiv e boost for theSpartans, helping shut down some of the conference’s top offensive threats.

Indiana features a stable of young talent in newcomers Will Sheehey andVictor Oladipo and sophomores Christian Watford and Jordan Hulls. Afterinjuries plagued the H oosiers this season, S heehey and O ladipo needed toshow qualities of upperclassmen quicker than most. The two have made animmediate impact for Indiana, as Oladipo is among the team leaders in scor-ing and rebounding and Sheehey has had numer ous impressive outings forthe Hoosiers, including a team-leading 14 points against P urdue. Watfordhas been among the confer ence’s top scorers for the majority of the season,while Hulls has been a solid star ter at point guard.

“I think the two freshmen have really set the standards for young playersand how they work,” Indiana head coach Tom Crean said. “They are learn-ing how to compete every day. They have gone above and beyond the typi-cal freshman play. If you have a great work ethic and a real desire to improve,it gives you a chance to really grow.”

Minnesota head coach Tubby Smith has also dealt with the injury bug andhas r elied on his fr eshman trio of M averick Ahanmisi, Chip Armelin andAustin Hollins. Armelin has contributed to the Golden Gophers by recordinga career-high 14 points in 23 minutes against confer ence-leading Ohio State,while Ahanmisi and Hollins continue to provide solid minutes off the bench.

Another first-y ear play er who has seen his r ole incr ease dramaticallythroughout the season is Illinois’ Jereme Richmond. Playing on a team dom-inated b y seniors, Richmond has ranked among the confer ence’s best infield-goal percentage. Sophomore D.J. Richardson has duplicated his effortsfrom last season during which he was named conference Co-Freshman of theYear, putting up consistent numbers as a mainstay in the I llini starting five.

Just up the r oad fr om I llinois, N orthwestern’s stock of y oung talentincludes freshman JerShon Cobb and sophomores Alex Marcotullio, AustinNichols, Reggie Hearn and D rew Crawford. Crawford, the 2010 B ig TenCo-Freshman of the Year, has established himself as one of the top sharp-shooters in the conference, regularly scoring in double figures.

Penn S tate has r otated thr ee fr eshmen in its lineup this season — TreBowman, Jermaine Marshall and B illy Oliver. All thr ee have turned in solidperformances off the bench, including an 18-point outburst fr om Marshallagainst Purdue. Rounding out the conference are Purdue’s talented youngstersled by sophomores D.J. Byrd and Kelsey Barlow and freshmen Terone Johnsonand Travis Carroll. Byrd and B arlow have pitched in significant minutes forthe Boilermakers, productively filling voids in the starting lineup. Johnson andCarroll have logged substantial playing time for the Old Gold and Black, see-ing increased action and multiple star ting assignments this season.

“At times, it is difficult to be a fr eshman,” P urdue head coach M attPainter said. “J ohnson and Carr oll have done a r eally good job for us andwill continue to make strides to become better . I think both guys have real-ly stepped up. We have a good group of young unselfish players.”

When glancing through the Big Ten statistical leaders of the 2010-11 sea-son, it will not come as a surprise to find a multitude of freshmen and soph-omores leading the categories. The host of young talent this year shows thateven the new kids can make an impact for y ears to come.

As the cliché goes, str ength comes in numbers. For the numer ousupperclassmen the Big T en boasts this season, that phrase rings trueyet again.

Ohio State’s Jon Diebler , David Lighty and Dallas Lauder dale havebeen part of their team’s starting lineup for thr ee seasons, helping theBuckeyes to one of the best starts in school history this year. Lighty andDiebler will r ound out their car eers as members of the Big T en’s 1,000-points club, while Lauderdale will exit as one of the most pr olificshot-blockers in school history.

Purdue’s E’Twaun Moore and JaJuan Johnson have become two ofthe most decorated student-athletes to play in West Lafayette. Johnsonhas recorded more than 1,700 points, 700 rebounds and 200 blocks inhis car eer, while Moor e r ecently br oke the Pur due r ecord for gamesstarted and became the 25th player in confer ence history to scor e2,000 career points. Both players wer e also named to the midseasontop 30 lists for the Wooden and Naismith awards.

Illinois will look to seniors Demetri McCamey , Mike Davis and MikeTisdale for a postseason sur ge. After consistently leading the squad inscoring and assists, McCamey has posted mor e than 1,500 car eerpoints and 600 career assists, becoming just the sixth player in Big Tenhistory to accomplish the feat.

The Michigan State senior class of Kalin Lucas, Durr ell Summers andMike Kebler is just the seventh class in school history to win mor e than100 games. Lucas, who enter ed this season as a two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection, will finish his senior campaign ranked inthe program’s top 10 in points, free throws and assists.

Talor Battle will leave Penn State as one of the most talented pointguards to wear the Nittany Lion unifor m. He is on pace to finish amongPenn State’s best in nearly every major statistical category and becamethe second Big Ten player in the last decade to reach 2,000 career points.

Wisconsin senior Jon Leuer and junior Jor dan Taylor have estab-lished themselves as one of the country’ s best scoring duos. Leuer , aNaismith and W ooden A ward midseason top-30 member , was wel-comed into the Big Ten’s 1,000-points club this season, becoming the36th player in Badger history to eclipse the milestone.

Minnesota’s Blake Hoffarber and Northwestern’s Michael Thompsonhave etched their names into their r espective schools’ r ecords books.Hoffarber will leave as the Golden Gophers’ career leader in three-pointattempts and field goals, while Thompson moved into first place incareer assists and will depart Northwester n as the pr ogram’s all-timeleader in games started.

Iowa’s Matt Gatens and Jarryd Cole have achieved several mile-stones in their car eers, with Gatens eclipsing 1,000 car eer points andCole exceeding 400 career rebounds.

With no four-year players on its roster, Indiana looks to junior VerdellJones III for veteran leadership. Jones is the 42nd player in pr ogramhistory to reach 1,000 points in his career. Michigan’s junior captains ofZack Novak and Stu Douglass have helped lead the young W olverinesthis season, ranking in the top five in scoring for the Maize and Blue thisseason.

Along with flooding several of the confer ence’s major statistical cat-egories, these players have shown dedication to their r espectiveschools and in the pr ocess have set numer ous records. Each Big T enteam will r ely on these r ecord-breakers to make a run deep into the2011 Big Ten Tournament. Every player hopes to leave his mark, andthis talented class of veterans is guaranteed to be r emembered foryears to come.

Northwestern University is one of the country’s leadingprivate research universities, with 11 schools located ontwo lakefront campuses in Evanston and Chicago, Ill.,

and a new branch campus in Doha, Qatar. It has approximately17,000 full- and part-time students, 2,500 full-time faculty, and anannual budget of almost $1.25 billion.

Excellence has been Northwestern’s goal since nine men met in1850 to establish an educational institution that would serve thepeople of the Northwest Territory — an area that now includesOhio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part ofMinnesota — and rival any in the eastern United States. After com-pleting its first building in 1855, Northwestern began classes thatfall with two faculty members and 10 male students. By 1900 theUniversity was composed of a liberal arts college and six profession-al schools, including the schools of law and medicine, with a totalof 2,700 students.

At the heart of a Northwestern education is the belief that a solidfoundation in the liberal arts is essential, regardless of one’s futureplans. All students in the six undergraduate schools take courses inscience, mathematics and technology, individual and social behavior,historical studies, the humanities, and fine and performing arts.

The University is recognized both nationally and international-ly for the excellence of its educational programs at all levels. U.S.News & World Report consistently ranks the University’s undergrad-uate programs among the best in the country. Among graduate pro-grams, the Kellogg School of Management regularly ranks amongthe top five business schools in the country for both its traditionalcurriculum and its executive master’s program.

QUICK FACTS

PENN STATEN I T T A N Y L I O N S

Penn State received its state charter in 1855 as one of thenation’s first colleges of scientific agriculture. The campuswas located in Centre County on 200 acres of fertile land

donated by James Irvin, a partner in the Centre Furnace iron works(remains of which can be seen today along East College Avenue).

Penn State admitted its first students in 1859. Founding PresidentEvan Pugh, a chemist, hoped to expand the curriculum beyond agri-culture to include other scientific studies and engineering. Pugh andsimilar visionaries in other states lobbied for Congressional passage ofthe Morrill Land-Grant Act in 1862.

The act enabled states to sell federal land and use the income tosupport colleges “where the leading object shall be, without exclud-ing scientific and classical studies ... to teach agriculture and themechanic arts (engineering) ... in order to promote the liberal andpractical education of the industrial classes in all the pursuits andprofessions of life.”

In 1863, the Pennsylvania legislature designated Penn State theCommonwealth’s sole land-grant institution. But Pugh died thefollowing year, and the Pennsylvania State College drifted, notbeing especially distinctive for any kind of study. One positiveevent during those troubled years was the admission of the firstwomen students in 1871.

The University has conferred approximately 600,000 degreessince its founding, but academic quality has kept pace with quanti-tative growth. For example, Penn State was named one of thenation’s best colleges and universities by the American public in arecent Gallup Poll, and nearly 40 of its academic programs regular-ly rank among the 10 best in their field nationwide.
