JaJuan Johnson of Purdue has won both the Coaches and Media Big Ten Player of the Year Award.
Jared Sullinger of Ohio State won both awards for Freshman of the Year.
Johnson, Sullinger, Jordan Taylor (Wisconsin) and E'Twaun Moore (Purdue) were All-Big Ten First Team selections on both lists. Jon Leuer (Wisconsin) was the fifth member by the Coaches and Talor Battle was the Media's fifth selection.
Jon Diebler broke the Ohio State record and tied the Big Ten mark with 10 3-pointers Tuesday, leading the Buckeyes to a 82-61 domination of the Nittany Lions.
"It was just one of those nights," Diebler said. "The basket felt huge and I was fortunate enough to knock them down."
Diebler, who owns the Big Ten record for three-point field goals (348), shot 10-of-12 from beyond the arc.
The victory clinched at least a share of the Big Ten championship for Ohio State, the school's fourth in six seasons under coach Thad Matta.
