The Big Ten regular season wrapped up yesterday, which must mean it's award season time. On Monday the league handed out individual awards and all-conference designations -- and several Iowa players were honored. As expected, Jarrod Uthoff earned All-Big Ten first team* honors from the coaches and media -- and did so unanimously, the first Iowa player to do so since Andre Woolridge almost 20 years ago.

While Uthoff's inclusion on the first team was expected, it's still a big deal and worthy of celebration.
