Rank School Avg. Height

#06 Michigan 78.9"
#08 Indiana 78.8"
#24 Figueroa U 78.5"
#29 Washington 78.4"
#31 Michigan St. 78.3"
#38 Nebraska 78.3"
#41 Iowa 78.2"
#49 Penn St. 78.1"
#59 Northwestern 78.1"
#63 Purdue 78.0"
#68 Rutgers 78.0"
#76 UCLA 78.0"
So, there's only a hair more than an inch in average height between Illinois and UCLA.
For what it's worth, the tallest team in D1 is Duke at 79.6 inches of average height. The Blue Devils have only one 7-footer, and two players listed as 6-9, but all their rotation players are 6-5 or taller.
