Title says it all. Congrats to Trey!

Burke becomes Michigan's first national player of the year since Cazzie Russell was named NCAA Player of the Year in 1966.
The sophomore was also named to SI's five-man All-America team, joining Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart, Creighton's Doug McDermott, Gonzaga's Kelly Olynyk and Indiana's Cody Zeller.
Surprisingly
Not Unanimous
I think he could still be a "consensus" All American, but he won't be Unanimous. Then again, there are tons of AA teams, I don't know who all the official ones are, and what percentage you need to be "consensus"
"Over? Did you say, over? Nothing is over until we decide it is!"
For the official designation
For the official designation of consensus All-American, the NCAA doesn't use the SI team. The four teams used are Sporting News, USBWA, NABC, and AP. Both Burke and Oladipo have already been named first team by both SN and USBWA. The other two are forthcoming.

We'll see what Tom Crean has to say about this. It won't be "Congratulations, Cody". It will be "Where is Oladipo on that list?"
HAIL.
Lol
Oladipo is undoubtedly great, but ESPN bloated that success. I'm comfortable with that All-American team.
Go Blue!

I see an infatuation the Dudeness has for Magnus and wonder how it manifests itself in such hatred...

He's also obessed with fat people, which compounds his Magnus fixation (assuming he's right in claiming that Magnus is fat; I always just picture him as smiling Brandon Graham).

Congratulations To Trey (Again!)...
For the second time in less than a day, we are congratulating Trey Burke on another honor (two really, if we think of SI National Player Of The Year and being named to the All-American team there), and for his contribution to Michigan, another well-deserved one at that.

When is the Wooden award?
I'd hate for a deep Indiana run in March to boost Oladipo over who should win--Trey.
I love Greg Mattison
i think I love Trey Burke
i think I love Trey Burke more than Denard....I know blasphemy.
blasphemy? no.
Burke is a winner. And Burke produces against all defenses...
I will be happy when the Denard spectre finally fades away from the list of heros at this school...
We are the dead.
Hey you know what? We were
Hey you know what? We were darn lucky to have both of those fine men at the University and it's completely unnecessary to tear one down to prop the other up. Oh and the guy with 8 out of the top 10 total offensive performances in school histories is not "fading" any time soon.

Fantastic for him and for Michigan
Sam Webb has said that Darius Morris's success opened the eyes of h.s. PGs as to the extent to which they could thrive in Beilein's system, something they apparently doubted at one time. Now Michigan's PG is the Player of the Year. It accordingly shouldn't be too hard to find PGs going forward.

Either way, that is freaking awesome!! Congrats Trey! He definitely deserves it.

great news...
Trey certainly earned the accolades this year! Here's to hoping Derrick Walton can make a smooth transition as the lead PG and be another great facilitator (obviously he won't be able to fill Trey's shoes in year 1, but we can hope!)
Tell Drama he’s on the top of my list of things to do today, along with inserting needles in my cock!
Awesome, I didn't pay any
Awesome, I didn't pay any attention to this topic until now. Trey is deserving, but I'm still a little shocked he actually won.
Wooden and other POY awards
Wooden Award: Announced during Final Four weekend. The deadline for voting is March 25, so only the first weekend of the NCAA tourney will be taken into account.
Oscar Robertson POY Trophy: Awarded April 5. Voting already complete.
Naismith Award: Four finalists will be announced March 24, after which there will be a final vote, which includes a fan-vote component. Winner announced April 7.
Adolph Rupp Trophy: Announced during Final Four weekend. Selected by an "independent panel consisting of national sportswriters, coaches, and sports administrators."
Twitter: @Raoul_000
That's what I thought too; during Final Four weekend.
But their website (linked above) says announced the 12th and voting is through the 27th:
Hundreds of members of the college basketball media will vote on the Wooden Award Player of the Year and All American team from 9:00 AM EST (6:00 AM PST), Monday, March 18, 2013, through 3:00 PM EST (Noon – PST), Wednesday, March 27, 2013, either online or through the mail.
The John R. Wooden Award Player of the Year will be announced at the 2013 Wooden Award Gala presented by Wendy’s on April 12, 2013, at The Los Angeles Athletic Club. The Gala will honor the Men’s and Women’s Wooden Award winners, All Americans and the Legends of Coaching Award winner, Kansas Head Coach Bill Self.
So I don't know if that's just formal and they're going to make it public the Final Four weekend (because how else could they get the winner there?) or if they've changed their format.

Your first quote above is for the women's Wooden Award, not the men's. Here's the quote from the men's press release:
Voting will take place from March 18th through March 25th, allowing voters to account for the first weekend of competition in the NCAA Tournament.
And it also says:
The John R. Wooden Award Player of the Year presented by Wendy’s will be announced on ESPN during the Final Four Weekend in Atlanta.
I also wanted to note that the four awards I listed above are some of the major POY awards, along with those awarded by AP, NABC, and Basketball Times—at least if you go by what the NCAA includes in its official Award Winners publication (see p. 10). SI isn't included, but kudos to Trey Burke for receiving this honor, nonetheless.

Well, that would explain my confusion.
Wouldn't think the front page of their homepage would be about the women's award, but it obviously is.

Fantastic achievement by
Fantastic achievement by Trey!
He will probably be here for only 2 years and might not compare statistically with players who have played out their eligibility. He was an integral part of one banner achievement (BIG regular season title) last year and of course he will probably be a consensus all-American and win multiple NPOY awards this year.
With his current body of work, I wonder what his chances are of one day having his number in the rafters at Crisler. What would his chances be if he leads an unlikely run to the final four?

beat South Dakota State before we induct anybody into the college basketball hall of fame.

Regardless of our tourney run
Congratulations to Trey
Congratulations to Trey Burke! Won't be the last time we say it!
Trey
Is the beginning to a renewed Michigan Basketball. Go Blue Trey! Well deserved and thanks for the Hard Work!
The guys that came before
The guys that came before Trey that made Michigan competitive again were the beginning of "a renewed Michigan basketball". Guys like Zack Novak and Stu made this possible, without them bringing the team back to the tourney, Burke probably honors his original committment to PSU...
Trey has continued where his predecessors left off and taken it to another level. Props to him for being a great representative of the program.
The swag is back.
Hmmm....
Maybe I'll revisit my thoughts on the "deterioration of SI." Nah: they just happened to get this one right.
Living a dream for Burke
Do you think Trey Burke dreamed of the day he would be mentioned in the same sentence as Doug McDermott and Kelly Olynyk?
Smart is young and Trey is improving his overall game but this is an underwhelming group of basketball players.

I think Burke should get featured on the banner for this website while his career is still ongoing.
No Oladipo on their All American team. This means he isn't going to be consensus, right?
And hell yes. Trey deserves this 100%.
