Badgers' Tucker Big Ten Player of the Year
March 6, 2007
PARK RIDGE, Ill. (AP) -- Wisconsin's Alando Tucker was named the Big Ten's Player of the Year on Tuesday in separate balloting by the media and coaches.
Tucker averaged 20.1 points and 5.4 rebounds for the Badgers, who finished second in the Big Ten behind Ohio State. The senior forward, with 2,125 career points, is 23 points away from passing Michael Finley to become Wisconsin's career scoring leader. The Badgers take a 27-4 record into the Big Ten tournament beginning Thursday at the United Center in Chicago.
Thad Matta of top-ranked Ohio State was named conference Coach of the year by both the media and coaches. The Buckeyes (27-3) won their second straight Big Ten title this season under Matta and have tied the school record for victories in a season.
The Buckeyes' standout center Greg Oden was named Freshman of the Year after leading the league in rebounding and blocked shots. Joining Tucker and Oden on the first All-Big Ten teams chosen by both media and coaches are conference scoring leader Adam Haluska of Iowa and Michigan State's Drew Neitzel. Filling out the coaches' squad was Purdue's Carl Landry while the media went with another Ohio State freshman, Mike Conley Jr.
