That's where I saw it first. I don't peruse the Big Ten website daily. Sorry.
 




Trevor Mbakwe is the Big 10 player of the week - well deserved!

I apologize if this has been posted, been in meetings all day, but wanted to post the email from the Big 10 in case no one else has.

Earned is right, dude was all over it this week.
 

The powers that be must have been desperate for a co-Freshman of the week. Dekker?? How can anyone playing on a team that laid one of the biggest eggs of the year against a sub-.500 team (not only at home, but on senior day no less) be up for any weekly award
