Tony is 2nd Team All-B1G (per Coaches). Owen named Co-Freshman of the Year. Payton 3rd Team All-B1G (Coaches & Media)

I notice is hasn't been shared in this thread (yet), most likely meaning there are no Hawkeyes on the All-B1G Defensive Team.

Which just absolutely shocks me to the core.


(although if not a 2nd teamer, then OF needs to be at least on the 3rd team or an HM on the all-B1G defensive lists)

Fran called it out during the season from the refs. The kid gets no respect and now the voters give him no respect.

Good I hope it gives him a chip on his shoulder going forward.

Originally the B1G had the wrong name in this tweet; that's what Owen's dad was referring to.

What name did they originally have there?

We have gotten spoiled with Garza and the Murray’s over the past 4-5 years. But we really did not threaten with a first team selection. It could be worse but we need more talent.

and to think the Murray twins could have been seniors this year....

too bad they didn't stick around to win @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset a championship!

I think Owen eventually makes this team. Heck, Ladji might, too.

The full text of the tweet:

Owen Freeman reflecting on his journey to this point:

"Even looking back, just like what I've been through. My freshman year (of high school), the head coach of my basketball team told me — he said I wasn't a basketball player. I don't know what I am (then). But then fast forward and I'm cutting down nets in Champaign last year."

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[Rambler Hawk]

Freeman not being sole Freshman of the year is ridiculous.

Agreed - WTF?!? Owen’s FG % is like 20% higher to boot…if I had to guess the Indy kid got votes from the East…including the little pinhead in East Lansing. What more was Owen suppose to do - win BTPOW every f’ing week?!?!😡

I couldn’t even tell you anything about the freshman from Indiana. Hadn’t ever heard his name before.

He was the reason that Indy beat Iowa. He blocked a bunch and was a force. Hell of a player.

 

[NevadaHawk]

Owen got robbed!

 

[Franisdaman]

Who the hell is Brandon Brantley

Brandon Brantley is in his 11th year as an assistant coach at Purdue so how the B1G f'd that tweet up....

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[LaQuintaHawkeye]

I think we forgot a "congratulations" ...well done Ben!

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Was there an Honorable Mention list?

Surprised that Josh Dix didn't make a team given his close to the season.

Yes, see link below.

Coaches had Owen as HM.
Media had Dix, Perk, Owen and Krikke as HM.

I'm personally more surprised that the Media didn't vote TP on any of the teams, yet the Coaches had him 2nd Team.
