Which Big Ten Basketball programs have the best overall offenses for 2020-21? Here’s a closer look at each team and what they have to offer.

To fans watching NCAA games last season, Big Ten Basketball was the best conference in basketball. For those looking at the stats, it is not much different. Their conference RPI was the fourth-highest and their non-conference record 111-39. At seasons end there were six teams in the AP Top 25 Poll and only four teams never appeared in the top 25.

Now that the NBA deadline to enter the NBA Draft has passed, and not just the NCAA’s deadline to withdraw, the only opportunity that rosters will have to change is via the transfer portal. With most power conference teams having already handed out their scholarships and some players have begun to arrive on campus, a player with the talent to shift the landscape of a conference committing is slim in the Big Ten. Whether or not the NCAA grants certain players eligibility, and there is a number waiting, could have more of an impact.

In a similar fashion to the ACC offense article, this article does not reflect where the teams are going to land in the standings. It must be understood that defense is a huge part of winning and losing, this is about how well the teams are going to score and how they are going to do it. As well, in-conference games are only taken into consideration when making comparisons to last season, it ensures a more balanced schedule when comparing the offensive output. Plus conference games are more difficult to win when you run the same sets against the same coaches every year.
