On a day when Ohio State saw E.J. Liddell named first-team All-Big Ten and Malaki Branham named Big Ten Freshman of the Year, the Buckeyes had one more award handed out. Senior Justin Ahrens was awarded the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award.
Ahrens was recognized for his sportsmanship and ethical behavior on the court, as well as good academic standing and good citizenship off the court.
The Ohio State forward was named a captain for this, his senior season. He started 18 games for Chris Holtmann’s squad and averaged 5.3 points per game to go along with 2.5 rebounds in 29 games played in the regular season.
