Columbus Dispatch predicts Washington to finish 15th in the Big Ten

The Big Ten's women's and men's basketball teams will be in Rosemont, Ill., this week for Big Ten media days, where the media and coaches polls will be released.

The Columbus Dispatch, the newspaper in the same town as Ohio State University, released their media poll and predicted the Washington Huskies to finish 15th. The newspaper predicted its native Ohio State Buckeyes to finish eighth in the 18-team conference.

This would be a drop-off for UW, which finished 12th last year in the Big Ten, the program's second year under head coach Danny Sprinkle.
