Show Notes
Michigans Yaxel Lendeborg and Illinois Keaton Wagler dominate Big Ten basketball postseason awards, with Lendeborg earning Player of the Year honors from both coaches and media, and Wagler taking Freshman of the Year. Coaches chose Nebraskas Fred Hoiberg as Coach of the Year, while media picked Michigans Dusty May. First teams featured standouts like Lendeborg, Wagler, Michigan States Jeremy Fears Junior, and Purdues Braden Smith, with coaches adding Nebraskas Pryce Sandfort and media swapping in Iowas Bennett Stirtz. Second and third teams showcased players from Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio State, and others, with Michigan landing multiple spots. Despite eighteen teams in the league, only fifteen all-conference players were selected, leaving plenty of talent on the table. Other honors went to Michigans Aday Mara as Defensive Player of the Year by coaches, and Nebraskas Braden Frager as Sixth Man. All-freshman and all-defensive teams highlighted more Illinois and Michigan names, plus Washington and Nebraska standouts. These picks set the stage for tournament action ahead.
