ROSEMONT, Ill. -- They'll want the honor five months from now, but Michigan's Charles Matthews and Michigan State's Cassius Winston and Nick Ward have been named to the preseason All-Big Ten men's basketball team.
The 10-man team, announced Thursday morning at the league's Media Day, also includes preseason Big Ten Player of the Year Carsen Edwards (Purdue), Indiana's Romeo Langford and Juwan Morgan, Maryland's Anthony Cowan, Jr., Minnesota's Jordan Murphy, Nebraska's James Palmer, Jr., and Wisconsin's Ethan Happ, who like Edwards was a unanimous selection.
Voting was done by various members of the conference's media.
Matthews, a small forward, is a redshirt junior who started all 41 games for Michigan last season.
