Postseason Awards: Big Ten

They may have the most bids of any league come Selection Sunday but they are not the best league. They have talent but that talent is young. The sophomore class of Evan Turner, Taylor Battle, Manny Harris, Kalin Lucas will highlight this league in the coming years.

Player of the Year: Taylor Battle, Penn State

I have to say he has been one of the best players and also one of the most valuable. Even if they don't go dancing, his mark has been made. MSU is too balanced and so is Purdue. Battle is the player that stands out the most
