per the STrib:

Elite players Deshaun Thomas (Ohio State), Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr. (Michigan), Cody Zeller and Victor Oladipo (Indiana) are all entering the draft early and will participate in the NBA combine starting Thursday

“Last year, they were clearly the best conference in the country,” CBS Sports basketball writer Jeff Borzello said. “This year, it won’t be as clear but they’ll still have multiple teams in Final Four contention.”

“Indiana will take the biggest fall from this past year,” Borzello said. “They lose so much — and the top of the league is still going to be pretty good. But they do return guys that can contribute — Yogi Ferrell, Will Sheehey, guys like that — but they’re going to bank on their freshmen carrying a huge load.”
