Both deserved the honors. I'm looking forward to next year.
 
Davison is going to need to get that shoulder fixed but man what a warrior.

Not sure how the coaches didn't reward Happ with a 1st team selection considering he led his team in steals, blocks, points, assists and rebounds. He was listed in top 10 in the B1G in most of these categories as well. Palmer Jr. wasn't even listed in any of the league leaders statistically other than he was 5th in PPG. I'd say that is a major snub by the coaches.

It's about all I can see that was lacking with him to be honest.
