Pair of Oregon hoopers receive preseason All-Big Ten honors

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Two members of the Oregon men’s basketball team were named to the All-Big Ten team on Tuesday: senior center Nate Bittle and junior guard Jackson Shelstad.

Both returners were on the All-Big Ten third team at the end of last year after a brief NCAA March Madness run. Bittle was both a finalist for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Center of the Year award and made the Big Ten All-Defensive team.

The Central Point, Ore. native also led the Big Ten in number of blocked shots (74) and was second in the conference with 2.1 blocks per game.
