Lendeborg Takes AP Big Ten Player of the Year
Yaxel Lendeborg led Michigan to a 29-2 record and was a near unanimous Big Ten Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year, also ranking third nationally on KenPom.
- On Tuesday, USA TODAY Network voters released All-Big Ten first and second teams, naming Yaxel Lendeborg, Michigan, Big Ten Player of the Year.
- After transferring from UAB, Lendeborg averaged 14.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in his first Michigan season, earning recognition on KenPom.
- Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg edged Michigan's Dusty May by three votes for Big Ten Coach of the Year amid Nebraska's surprising run.
- As the tournament starts Tuesday in Chicago, postseason honors were determined by USA TODAY Network reporters and by conference coaches and select media, with named local voters listed by outlets.
- Looking at the historical context, Nebraska's rise under Fred Hoiberg is notable as the Cornhuskers were predicted 15th in preseason Big Ten predictions and remain the only Power conference team to never win an NCAA Tournament game.
