Three Wolverines Earn Postseason Honors
Three members of the University of Michigan Basketball team were honored with All-Big Ten postseason accolades on Tuesday - Hunter Dickinson, Kobe Bufkin, and Jett Howard.
Dickinson earned second team All-Big Ten honors by the coaches and first team All-Big Ten honors by the media. He was Michigan's leading scorer averaging 18.2 ppg, while also leading the team in rebounds (9.0 per game) making him just the fourth Wolverine in program history to accomplish the feat in multiple seasons. Dickinson had 28 double-figure scoring games this season, including 12 games with 20-plus points and three games of 30-plus.
Sophomore guard Kobe Bufkin earned third team All-Big Ten honors by the coaches and honorable mention by the media. In his second year as a Wolverine, Bufkin averaged 13.9 points per game and notched a career-high 28 points against Wisconsin (Feb. 26). Bufkin also leads the Wolverines with 40 steals, while averaging 4.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game.
Freshman guard Jett Howard earned third team All-Big Ten honors by the coaches and honorable mention by the media. Howard scored double-figures in 23 games during the regular season, and is the second leading scorer on the team averaging 14.5 points per game. Howard currently has 76 three-pointers on the season, needing just five more to set the U-M freshman record currently held by Nik Stauskas (80, 2012-13).
