As the 2020-21 men’s basketball season is nearing its end, we begin to look back at the Big Ten Conference and the great individual performances from this season.
Despite a senior season that had its fair share of difficulties, Wisconsin guard D’Mitrik Trice was able to make the top 10 among very impressive players such as Illinois guard Ayo Dosunmu, Michigan guard Mike Smith and Iowa guard Jodan Bohannon. These players have been the most dominant at their position this season, and it is no surprise to see them leading the Big Ten in such an important category that shows their ability to create plays for their team in addition to their electric scoring.
It will be interesting to see how the Badgers will attempt to replace the playmaking ability of D’Mtrik Trice at the point guard position going into next year, especially with the entrance of backup point guard Trevor Anderson into the transfer portal.
Below are the top 10 leaders in assists from the Big Ten Conference 2020-21 season. Players from Wisconsin, Iowa, Penn State, Northwestern, Michigan, Ohio State and Minnesota have all made the list.
