Big Ten basketball is flying high

Time for some more Big Ten love.

The conference remains No. 1 in the country in terms of strength of schedule -- for the second straight week and third time this season.

Six of the 11 teams are ranked in the top 35, while the Big Ten sits No. 2 in the latest RPI poll behind the Atlantic Coast Conference.

To say it's been quite a season for the Big Ten would be an understatement.
