The Big Ten Network is kicking off efforts to identify All-Decade teams for both Big Ten basketball and football, and it all got started with a couple of former Ohio State hoopers on the 3rd Team squads on the court.
Both guards Aaron Craft and D’Angelo Russell were selected by a panelist of 24 FOX and BTN personalities. They were chosen among many outstanding Big Ten basketball players that did there work in Big Ten arenas from 2010-2019. Both are Buckeye fan favorites.
Other players on the 3rd Team squad include Purdue’s Caleb Swanigan and Jajuan Johnson, Jordan Murphy of Minnesota, and Indiana’s Yogi Ferrell. There are six total because of a tie.
We’ll continue to stay on top of all the Ohio State players included in both sports as BTN steps through the announcements, write-ups, and tributes as they are released. The schedule lays out like such for basketball, so continue to stay with us as we follow it.
⏸️ to get your #BTNAllDecade Team.
Starting Monday, follow along as we announce our 24-person panel's @B1GMBBall team of the 2⃣0⃣1⃣0⃣s.
