Here's the full roster. 
 
Not only are 25% of the Olympic team Huskers, eight (66%) are from the Big Ten. There are six alternates, five of whom are from the Big Ten. That means of the 18 players on the roster and alternate list, 13 are from the Big Ten, nearly 75%. 
 
It's no wonder this is such a tough conference to win.
