A little good news to start the week. Hooray for Brice.

Awesome, I just assumed the Anti-Nebraska Bias would relegate him to 2nd or 3rd Team.

I figured the coaches would vote him 1st team and the media would vote 2nd team, like they did with Palmer in 2018. 

Awesome season, Brice.

If there was ever a player that deserved the award despite finishing 16th out of 18 teams, it’s definitely Brice!

 

Well deserved! Can’t wait to see what comes next.

Brice led the league in scoring in conference games only at 20.7 ppg. GBR

That's also now 5 All-Conference selections for Fred (1 behind Tim Miles) and we have had multiple draftees under Fred's watch too. Not bad for a team with a rough W/L record in that timeframe.

As a buddy said, he certainly gave the other teams a sporting chance to win.

 

Sorry, couldn't resist.   I don't mean to diminish the award, and I think that sportsmanship is still important and deserves to be recognized.

In the last 14 seasons only 6 players on teams with losing records have been named to the B1G 1st team. Brice is the only one to be named to both the coaches and media 1st teams.

Which makes it even worse that we have get this kind of talent and still can't get to the tournament and win 1 game.

Frustrating how Fred has been able to bring talent here but not put it all together
