Big Ten All-Conference Teams
Sticking with tradition, the Big Ten Conference announced it’s All-Conference teams and handed out the awards for players of the year on Monday night following the end of conference play this past weekend. Blog Ten will be handing out similar awards — which carry a lot more weight, I swear — in the coming weeks because we’d like to let Illinois and Wisconsin finish their seasons before making any such decisions.
Find out who the coaches and media chose as their All-Conference team after the jump.

That’s bullshit – Kafka should be 1st team. And WTF is Wooten?
Kafka could be first team, but I think the fact that Penn State had a better season played a role in the decision.
As for Wootton, good player, decent season. He got off to a very slow start following the offseason surgery and didn’t have a better season than anybody who was named.
He’ll be a solid pro though.
