I think the coaches will definitely give Aaron the nod. He's certainly deserving and with the way he lead the team with the best ball of his career down the stretch; he should be there.

With some hard work, that Kaminsky kid might be pretty good.

I would put Uthoff on the 3rd team over Pettaway. But I'm biased

Certainly this is nothing official, but AW makes BTN's 1st All Conerence.

Hopefully more telling is that he was unanimously selected by the three pickers. They also unanimously picked Gabe as sixth man.

Suprised no Uthoff on anyone's teams.

I think Jarrod's defense is greatly unappreciated and he has a very complete game.

Was a stat they gave during game saturday he's the only player in the Nation that has over 40 three pointers made and 40 + blocked shots (or something along those lines)

Just a general point that raw numbers are a measure of pace of play as well as quality of player. I wish defense would come into play at some point beyond just shot blockers. Do you really want 3 Indiana guys given how they "defend"? Be honest, would you want Pettaway on your team if winning mattered?

I'd like to see a Raphael Davis or Nigel Hayes over some of the volume shooters who will end up on the 2nd or 3rd teams.

I agree with this. There are basically about 20 players competing for 15 spots, and it will be interesting to see who is on what team. I like Uthoff, Davis and Hayes more than some of the guys on the second and third teams of the OP. Offensive statistics don't always measure who is the best player. I think you could even make a case for Captain America, who is the glue guy for the Badgers.
