Ignas Brazdeikis's top freshman honor leads Michigan's Big Ten awards haul

After piling up wins throughout the regular season, Michigan racked up the Big Ten awards on Monday.

Ignas Brazdeikis led the haul for the Wolverines (26-5, 15-5 Big Ten) by being named Freshman of the Year and earning All-Big Ten second team honors.

Brazdeikis finished the regular season as Michigan’s leading scorer at 15 points per game and ranked second on the team in rebounds (5.3) and 3-point shooting (41.7 percent).

He also scored at least 20 points 10 times and wasted little time making his introduction to the college basketball world with a pair of impressive performances against Villanova and North Carolina during the first month of the season.
