He was joined on the coaches’ and media’s first teams by Purdue’s Zach Edey, Iowa’s Kris Murray and Penn State’s Jalen Pickett. Michigan’s Hunter Dickinson and Northwestern’s Boo Buie rounded out the media’s first team, while Illinois’ Terrance Shannon was on the coaches’ first team. 

Edey, who averaged 21.9 points and 12.8 rebounds, was named the Big Ten’s Player of the Year by both the media and coaches. 

Chris Collins, who led Northwestern to a second-place finish in the league, was chosen as the Coach of the Year by both the media and coaches. 

Hood-Schifino was also named second team All-Big Ten by the media and to the third team by the league’s coaches. He averaged 13.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists.
