As of Nov. 6, the Big Ten is led by Nebraska and Illinois who are ranked no.1 and no.2 in the country respectively.

Nebraska, Illinois and Ohio State all made Sweet Sixteen efforts in last year's NCAA Division I tournament. While the final round has been dominated by the Big Ten for five years (Penn State 2007-2010, Nebraska 2006), OSU has never seen a national championship game.

Ohio State fell from the nation's top 25 to no.41 after losing in four games to Minnesota on Saturday. Buckeye Mariah Booth was chosen as this week's Big Ten Co-Defensive Player along side Purdue's Kierra Jones. Booth had seven blocks against the Gophers and nine blocks against Wisconsin Friday night.

The Buckeyes continue their stretch on the road in Illinois this week where they take on Northwestern in Evanston on Friday and the Hawkeyes in Champaign on Saturday.
