As Big Ten champions, it’s not surprising that Michigan State won its share Monday when the Big Ten announced its annual awards.
After clinching a share of the regular-season championship with a win over Ohio State on Sunday, senior Cassius Winston was named first-team All-Big Ten for the second straight season while junior Xavier Tillman earned second-team honors and was named the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year.
Guard Rocket Watts was named to the Big Ten’s All-Freshman team.
