Conducted by The Athletic and The Columbus Dispatch.
On my ballot, I had Ohio State No. 4 (I'm ready to be hurt again) and I had Bruce Thornton on the second-team all-league. Considered Scotty Middleton for FOTY, but went with the Maryland kid instead. I was also the lone non-Zach Edey vote for POY, but that might have been because I'm tired of watching him play basketball.
