Despite finishing in the middle of the Big Ten standings, several Wolverines and Spartans picked up conference accolades.
The Big Ten announced its all-conference teams and individual award winners Tuesday, one day before the start of the men’s basketball conference tournament in Indianapolis.
Michigan sophomore center Hunter Dickinson led the local recognition by being named a second-team All-Big Ten selection by the coaches and media. Dickinson ranked in the top five in the Big Ten in scoring (18.4 points; fifth), rebounding (8.5; fourth), field-goal percentage (56.3%; fourth) and blocked shots (1.5; fifth).
Dickinson was joined in the postseason honor roll by Michigan State senior forward Gabe Brown, who earned third-team All-Big Ten honors from the coaches and was an honorable mention by the media.
