POWER POLL
Iowa (16-4; 7-1): Loss or not, the Hawkeyes' résumé says they are still top dog after topping Michigan once and Michigan State and Purdue twice.
Maryland (18-4; 7-2): The Terrapins finally snatched their signature Big Ten win against Iowa in a league game on Thursday that, if nothing else, lived up to its billing.
Michigan State (18-4; 5-4): Do the Spartans have their identity back? Consecutive wins, the first against No. 8 Maryland, indicate a gain.
Wisconsin (12-9; 4-4): Nobody can guard Nigel Hayes, he says, but center Ethan Happ is becoming a problem for Badgers opponents, too.
Indiana (17-4; 7-1): Just when everyone was finally on board, the Hoosiers fell to Wisconsin, but Yogi Ferrell is still playing out of his mind and making 47.3 percent of three-pointers.
Purdue (18-4; 6-3): The Boilermakers were shorthanded against Minnesota, but AJ Hammons was pulling down rebounds with a shoe in his hand.
Michigan (16-5; 6-2): The Wolverines haven't been overly convincing in their margin of victory against bad teams lately, topping Minnesota, Nebraska and Rutgers by an average of 9.7 points.
Nebraska (12-9; 4-4): The four-game winning streak ended, but once again the Huskers were competitive in a loss to Michigan.
