The Big Ten announced its postseason awards this afternoon and Vladislav Goldin and Danny Wolf took down honors.
Goldin was named to the All-Big Ten First Team by the media, but second team by the coaches.
The first team included Braden Smith, John Tonje, Trey Kaufman-Renn, and Brice Williams on both the coaches’ and media’s teams. Maryland’s Derik Queen was the final selection by the coaches, with Goldin being the final pick by the media.
Wolf was named to the All-Big Ten Second Team, along with Bruce Thornton, Dawson Garcia and Nick Martinelli.
Purdue’s Braden Smith took home Big Ten Player of the Year honors. Queen was named Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
