Since we're a bit more than halfway through the conference schedule, and 2/3 through the season, I thought it might be interesting to look at some of the B1G stats so far. (I've linked the whole thing below.) I'll start with team rankings, then look at individual stats.
Team
Overall
Scoring offense: 1. Maryland (83.7) 7. Rutgers (71.5)
Scoring defense: 1. Nebraska (59.2) 2. Rutgers (60.4) - don't expect a shootout on Thursday!

Field goal %: 1. Maryland (.486), 5. Rutgers (.442)
Field goal % defense: 1. Rutgers (.364), 2. Northwestern (.369) - mostly bunched up, except Michigan at .451
Rebounding offense: 1. Minnesota (44.0) 5. Rutgers (40.9) - I think this is total rebounds
