All defense team: Audige, TJD, Omoruyi, McConnell, Edey. Outrageous Coleman isn't on there.
Collins absolutely deserved it. I thought that NW had an easier path and that the wheels were going to fall off...and I was wrong.
Team reads like they simply took the best steals/blocked shots guys and thats it. SMHAll defense team: Audige, TJD, Omoruyi, McConnell, Edey. Outrageous Coleman isn't on there.
He's 3rd in the country in rebounds. If you don't get the rebound, you don't get the stop. Pretty easy selection IMO.A bit surprised Edey is on there honestly.
The coaches are smart. They know what's up...I'm ridiculously pleased that only the media voted Dickinson in, while it was coaches who presumably have a better grasp on the game that put in TSJ. Good for him!
Absolutely my initial impression, too. So pleased that no coaches deigned to choose H Dick and that they tapped TSJ.I'm ridiculously pleased that only the media voted Dickinson in, while it was coaches who presumably have a better grasp on the game that put in TSJ. Good for him!
I'll take 2 lists if Dickinson gets left off of at least 1.There should be some sort of formula where the coaches and media have their votes put together. Having 2 lists is dumb.
Getting a first team guy and a third team guy is pretty good for our record. If we win a couple of games more then I'm sure cohawk would have been 3rd team.Most surprising choice to me was Derrick Walker as 2nd team B$G.....................MM deserved that spot..........
Walker is honorable mention at best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My opinion is cohawk shoulda got 3rd team .............This snub should be the impetus for him to return to the Illini next year and play his arse off for a 1st team spot and set himself up for a draft selection next year............
JMHO

Women's All B$G conference choices............................Fighting Illini...........
1st team
Makira Cook
2nd Team
Kendall Bostic
Genesis Bryant
Best hair? MM for the winI'd like to see more media lists for things like:
Personality team
Hustle team
Etc.
Yikes. Hawkins didn't even get honorable mention? Gotta wonder if his "antics" play a role in that?Was hoping Epps would've snuck in on the All-Frosh team. Here's the full list on the men's side (not sure if already linked):

I do feel bad for Epps. There was a 4-6 week stretch where he was one of the best freshman in the league. Then he hit a shooting slump and got hurt.
And hopefully all next year as a Fighting Illini..................![]()
You just know he's going to have an ax to grind for the rest of the year.
