The Big Ten Conference has one of the nation's five remaining unbeaten teams, has three schools ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 and has six clubs with at least 10 victories. But all of that gets thrown out the door now, as nonconference play has come to an end and league play begins this week.
All 14 teams will be in action on Tuesday or Wednesday, the start of an 18-game conference schedule between now and early March, followed by the Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis.
Follow along as we recap what's happened with the Big Ten to this point as well as preview what's on tap in conference play.
