New on UM Hoops: Trey Burke named Big Ten Player of the Year http://bit.ly/WiB2Lp
Congratulations Trey. Much improvement over last year deserves that kind of respect. Not so bad for a guy from Columbus.

And to think he was so close to going to PSU. Hopefully, he becomes a 2 time winner by coming back next season.
This is awesome news and I'm glad to see that all those Big Ten player of the week honors actually added up to the real awards at the end of the season. I'm surprised by Hardaway on the first team, but I think that's because I watch Michigan more closely than any other team, so I see his faults more than other players in the conference. He also got the sportsmanship award for our team so a little bonus there. I'm glad we have a healthy Morgan back for the postseason and the conference obviously thought highly enough of him to put him on the defensive team.
Well done.
Consistently is the key.

Congrats to Trey Burke. Do it again next year?
"YOU WRECKED OUR PROGRAM!! YOU.."
Fuck you Tom Crean.
I hope Trey is a lottery pick, and signs a very fat contract. After, of course, he finishes his college career with six wins in this year's NCAA Tournament.
Anyone else think he got snubbed for the All-Freshman team?
Oladipo while very athletic benefits greatly from playing with Zeller. He makes sensational plays on occasions, but disappears too.
Burke was the first player (ever ?) to score at least 15 points in every B1G conference game this year ... which neither Zeller or Oladipo did.
Congrats Trey ... undisputed Championship awaits next year plus a guaranteed top 3 ranking if you return. Maybe Lewan can have a chat with him ....
Go Blue!
Congratulations to Trey. He was definitely the POY. Very classy young man.

Matthew Dellavedova of St. Mary's just had a complete stinker of a game against the Zags, finishing with 2 points on 1-8 shooting (0-4 3pt), 7 assists, and 3 turnovers.
A performance like that in a game that some might say St. Mary's needed to win (or at least come damn close to doing so) probably pushes the Aussie out the door. Next!

He deserved it.

Excellent news for Trey! A small condolence for the team.
