Michigan is not represented on any of the All-Big Ten teams in the conference for the first time since 2014–15.
There are no Wolverines on the first, second, or third teams, and no players from the team have been named an
honorable mention or an All-Freshman selection. As Michigan’s nominee for the conference’s Sportsmanship Award,
only junior Will Tschetter received a mention.
Zach Edey of Purdue, along with Boo Buie, Terrence Shannon Jr., Braden Smith, Jahmir Young, and Marcus
Domask, was awarded the Big Ten Player of the Year.
Coach of the Year went to both Matt Painter and Fred Hoiberg. Freshman of the Year went to Owen Freeman of Iowa
and Mackenzie Mgbako of Indiana.
