Bittle Snubbed by the B1G Basketball Awards?

Recommended Posts

The media didn't think anything of the Ducks, which goes with the announcing, except for former Bruin, Don MacLean. However, on the coaches' side, Bittle and Shelstad both made the 3rd team, Bittle & Bamba both on the All-Defensive Team.

On Tuesday, the Big Ten revealed its 2025 men's basketball postseason honors. The voters had plenty to consider.

Bittle and Shelstad on the 3rd team does not trouble me in a conference as deep as the B1G.

 

Leader in the clubhouse, Michigan State, had few all-conference players.

Must be a hell of a coaching staff.   Michigan State's head coach and assistant were named coaches of the year in their respective categories.

 

Michigan State had no players on first or second team all-conference.   They did have on 2 on third team, but third team is noted as having 7 players rather than 5 due to tie votes.

The B1G is big, so making 3rd team is significant, but I believe that compared to Bittle, Shelstad is overranked being on the same level. He did hit some shots at the end of games, but better, more consistent play would have made those hero shots unnecessary, there were far too many games, where Shelstad, the point guard, would disappear completely.
