So I was reviewing the rosters of all the Big Ten teams.

Iowa is the only team in the Big Ten with no players 6-10, 6-11 or 7-0.

1- Team (Wisconsin) has 4
7- Teams in the Big Ten have 2 on the roster (Indiana, Illinois, Northwestern, Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State and Minnesota)
2- Teams have 1 on the roster ( Ohio State, Purdue)


Iowa needs a Big Man!!
 
McCabe is NOT 6'9".

He is 6'7". I don't know where you would have seen he is 6'9", but he isn't.
 
Noticed that EVEN Cornell College at Mt Vernon, IA has a 6'11" center. Coincidentally, they have one of their best teams in years.
 
Larson is 6'9 as is Archie, Brommer, and Cougill. I think the height thing is overblown and misleading.

Illinois has 2 players 6'10+ (Richard Semaru and Stan Simpson) and they have a combined 7 minutes in B10 play (5 came against the blowout to Iowa). Neither of them see any significant minutes.

Indiana has 2 players (Bawa Muniru and Tijan Jobe) playing a combined 6 minutes in B10 play again never playing in close games

Michigan has 2 players only one has played this season averaging 9 mpg (he's 6'10 Sr)

Michigan St has 2 players (Tom Herzog and Garrick Sherman) neither have played more than 5 minutes in a B10 game other than the blowout win against Iowa.

Ohio State has 1 player over 6'10 playing in half of the games this season with 8 total minute in B10 play

Purdue's tallest player is JaJuan Johnson (6'10) he plays all the time but I wouldn't call that a huge height advantage over 6'9 players and he's only 215 lbs.

Wisconsin has Jon Leuer (now injured) 2 other guys who average under 3 minutes a game and their fourth averages 4.9 mpg but has only played 9 total minutes in B10 play.
