Big Ten Announces 2024 Men’s Basketball Postseason Honors
ROSEMONT, Ill. – The Big Ten Conference has announced its All-Big Ten Men’s Basketball Teams and individual award winners for the 2023-24 season. Due to ties, a total of 18 student-athletes were selected to the All-Big Ten teams by the coaches and the media. Additionally, 24 student-athletes...

I'm absolutely biased and Mgbako is going to be a STUD, but if someone wins Big Ten Freshman of the Week 9 times, and someone else wins it twice, there's no goddamn reason they should be sharing the Freshman of the Year award/rant
What’s the deal with this Indy freshman!?!? BS that the coaches did not award it to Owen outright - I know it doesn’t matter, but….😡
Considering the fact that the unanimous player of the year will likley be a 2nd round draft choice, I'm not sure what All-Big Ten team you are on is the true indicator of future NBA success.
I couldn’t even tell you anything about the freshman from Indiana. Hadn’t ever heard his name before.
I watch almost all BIG games and he is a very good player. But Owen F was BIG freshman of the week 9 times, so I am not sure how anyone can tie him for BIG freshman player of the year. More BS politics and probably based more on Mgbako's star rating out of high school. JMO.
Same. Here's their stats.
Freeman:
| STATS |
|---|
| 2023-24 |
| GP | MIN | FG% | 3P% | FT% | REB | AST | BLK | STL | PF | TO | PTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 | 22.6 | 63.6 | 0.0 | 66.7 | 6.5 | 1.2 | 1.8 | 1.0 | 2.7 | 1.1 | 10.6 |
Mgbako:
| STATS |
|---|
| 2023-24 |
| GP | MIN | FG% | 3P% | FT% | REB | AST | BLK | STL | PF | TO | PTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 | 26.7 | 40.6 | 34.3 | 81.2 | 4.0 | 1.3 | 0.3 | 0.4 | 2.3 | 1.2 | 12.2 |
Freeman had a much higher FG%, slightly fewer ppgs, more rebounds, more blocks, same assists, and played less minutes.
Not sure, I'm hoping someone knows where to find that info.
Whattt. The dude won freshman of the week 9 times.
I agree with that, but comparing their stats (see McLovin's post above) it would appear they had equally impressive frosh campaigns.
Stats never tell the whole story tho.... The energy and attitude that Freeman brings to the court can be felt, but fully measured in a stat line.
Owen was freshman of the week 9 damn times. I guarantee he had a HUGE impact on the game(s) those weeks.
Oh well, give everyone a trophy. Have they had co-freshmen in the past?
Still a well earned award, just questionable sharing it.
I'm not sure how this is in any way relevant to Tony's value to his team.
Wait, Owen Freeman, the guy who won freshmen of the week 9 times (isn't that like half of the possible opportunities to win it?) has to share the award with a guy who won freshmen of the week....*checks notes*...twice. I mean, I don't doubt he's good but if you are going to split the award then you'd think the number of times they had won the award would be a little more evenly split.
Where did I question his value to the team? Who actually has said they hope he is gone after this year? Good lord you are thin skinned.
Thin-skinned? Dick? Pot meet kettle. Look at what you replied to and tell me WTF the NBA has to do with anything I posted? Then tell me why my response warranted this all too typical childish attack?
That’s some serious co-rap.
TAlk about all time stupid!!
Originally the B1G had the wrong name in this tweet; that's what Owen's dad was referring to.
Fran called it out during the season from the refs. The kid gets no respect and now the voters give him no respect.
Freeman not being sole Freshman of the year is ridiculous.
