B1G dominates Associated Press All-America teams
Many would argue that the B1G was the most dominant league in college basketball during the 2021-22 season. A lot of voters for the Associated Press All-America teams would probably agree with the notion.
Tuesday, the AP released the names of the All-America teams for the 2021-22 campaign. Between the first-, second-, and third-team honors, the B1G accounted for 5 of the 16 players. Three of those were first-team picks, too.
Another two players — Purdue’s Zach Edey and Rutgers’ Ron Harper Jr. — received honorable mention.
