Jackson Shelstad and Nate Bittle have taken a step forward this season for the Ducks in the absence of center N'Faly Dante and guard Jermaine Couisnard. Dante and Couisnard were the top two scorers last season for Oregon. After their departure, Shelstad and Bittle have filled in nicely and are the Ducks two leading scorers this season.  

This season, Shelstad is averaging 13.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 2.7 assists on 43.9 percent shooting from the field and 37.9 percent from three point land. Shelstad is a threat from anywhere on the floor and has knocked down some big time shots for Oregon this season.

Bittle is leading Oregon in scoring and rebounds this season. He is averaging 14.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 2.2 blocks per game on 51.3 percent shooting from the field. He is coming off of his best game of his Oregon career on Sunday, where he dropped 36 points and 12 rebounds on 13 for 20 from the field in Oregon’s 80-73 overtime win over rival Washington.

Oregon will play in their first ever Big Ten conference tournament this week. The Ducks earned the No. 8 seed and will play the No. 9-seeded Indiana Hoosiers on Thursday. The winner will earn a date in the quarterfinals vs the No. 1 seed, Michigan State Spartans. 

As for the rest of the All-Big Ten teams and awards, these were the results voted on by Big Ten coaches.
