Dials makes second team as OSU’s lone all-Big Ten pick
Wednesday, March 09, 2005
Bob Baptist
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH



The difference between being a good and great player might have been the difference between center Terence Dials making the All-Big Ten second team instead of the first.

The Ohio State basketball team’s leading scorer and rebounder was voted to the second team yesterday by coaches and media, who put only one inside player, Mike Wilkinson of Wisconsin, with four guards on their first teams. Dee Brown, Luther Head and Deron Williams of Illinois and Vincent Grier of Minnesota rounded out the coaches’ team. The media named Brown, Head, Williams and Bracey Wright of Indiana.

"First (team) is something I obviously wanted to have, but I don’t know if I can be disappointed about second team," Dials said. "The guys ahead of me are pretty good. I think if you put any of the top 10 on the first or second team, it wouldn’t make a difference."

Ohio State coach Thad Matta recently said Dials, a 6-foot-9 junior who averaged 16.4 points and 7.9 rebounds during the regular season, is "a very good player right now. I want to make him a great player."

Matta said Dials improved his ability to finish scoring opportunities around the basket this season as well as his athleticism, which Matta attributed to Dials being in better shape than a year ago.

"That (shot) block he had at the end of the (Illinois) game was probably the most athletic play I’ve ever seen him make," Matta said. "I want to keep the pedal to the floor with him and develop him."

Matta said Dials needs to improve his outside shot and learn to avoid silly fouls and careless turnovers.

Dials has no doubt that he will improve during the off-season. The only thing between him going from good to great, he said, is "one more year with coach Matta and his staff," who were not permitted to begin working with Dials until late September.

"You saw what they could do with me in two or three months. Just think if they had a whole off-season and a whole ’nother year with me," Dials said. "He’s coached great players, so he knows what it takes to get there. I think I’m going to blossom into the player I need to be to be a great player."

Brown was the third Illinois player in five years named player of the year. He also was the second in history to be named player of the year and defensive player of the year in the same season. Gary Grant of Michigan in 1988 was the other.

Bruce Weber of Illinois was voted coach of the year and D.J. White of Indiana freshman of the year.

Dials was the only Ohio State player to receive mention on the teams.

Senior Matt Marinchick was one of 11 players (one from each conference school) to be nominated for the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award. The conference will honor one male and one female student-athlete from each school at the end of the school year.

Dials 2nd Team All-Big Ten; Dee Brown POY
By Big Ten Conference (BigTen.org)
Date: Mar 8, 2005

OSU's Terence Dials has been named a second-team All-Big Ten performer, while Illinois' Dee Brown has been awarded with conference player of the year. Read on for the complete list of award winners.

Park Ridge, IL – For the third time in five years, an Illinois standout collected the Big Ten’s highest honor as junior Dee Brown was chosen as the Conference Player of the Year in voting by both the coaches and the media. He joins Brian Cook (2003) and Frank Williams (2001) as just the third player in program history to earn Player of the Year accolades. Brown, one of two unanimous All-Big Ten First Team picks by the coaches, led Illinois to its second consecutive outright Big Ten title for the first time since 1951-52 and its fourth in five seasons. The 6-0 guard led the Big Ten in three-point field goal percentage (.515) and three-point field goals made with 3.19 per game in League contests only. He also rated among the top 10 in assist-to-turnover ratio (2nd at 2.91), assists (4th at 4.0), steals (5th at 1.75) and scoring (10th at 15.0).

Brown also was named the Conference Defensive Player of the Year, becoming only the second player in Big Ten history to earn Player of the Year honors and defensive accolades in the same season. In 1988, Michigan’s Gary Grant became the first Conference standout to earn both awards. Brown is just the third Illinois player to collect defensive laurels, joining Bruce Douglas (1985-86) and Stephen Bardo (1989).

Illinois’ Bruce Weber was tabbed as the Big Ten Coach of the Year by the media after becoming the first mentor in League history to lead his team to back-to-back outright championships in his first two years at the helm. The Illini finished the regular season with a 15-1 record, tying the 1999 Michigan State squad for the most victories in Big Ten play since the League went to a 16-game schedule. Illinois also set a school record, posting 25 consecutive victories in Big Ten play, breaking the previous school mark of 17 set during the 1914-1915 season.

In other individual honors, Indiana’s D.J. White earned Freshman of the Year honors from both the coaches and media. He became the seventh Hoosier to nab Freshman of the Year honors after tying for first place in League games only with 2.12 blocks per contest, while ranking third in field goal percentage (.603) and 16th in scoring (13.9 ppg). White was joined by four other first-year standouts on the Big Ten All-Freshman Team, as the five-man squad also included teammate Robert Vaden, Michigan State’s Drew Neitzel, Minnesota’s Dan Coleman and Penn State’s Geary Claxton.

The 2005 All-Big Ten teams were dominated by underclassmen for the second consecutive year, as 12 of the 15 selections have a chance to return to their teams next season. Both First Team All-Big Ten squads included Illinois’ Brown, Luther Head and Deron Williams and Wisconsin’s Mike Wilkinson. Indiana’s Bracey Wright was the fifth choice of the media, while the coaches picked Minnesota’s Vincent Grier. Williams was the only returning First Team honoree, while Brown and Wilkinson were unanimous picks. In addition, it marks only the fourth time in League history that three or more players from the same squad earned First Team accolades. Indiana had four players named to the 1975 All-Big Ten First Team (Kent Benson, Quinn Buckner, Steve Green and Scott May), while Ohio State had three standouts honored in 1961 (John Havlicek, Jerry Lucas and Larry Siegfried) and 1971 (Jim Cleamons, Allan Hornyak and Luke Witte). Illinois also had three players named to the 1956 All-Big Ten First Team (George Bon Salle, Paul Judson and Bill Ridley).

The Conference office also announced honorees from each team for the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award. The student-athletes chosen are individuals who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior. In addition, the student-athletes must be in good academic standing and have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting. Honorees for men’s basketball are Illinois’ Roger Powell Jr., Indiana’s Mike Roberts, Iowa’s Greg Brunner, Michigan’s Graham Brown, Michigan State’s Chris Hill, Minnesota’s Brent Lawson, Northwestern’s Davor Duvancic, Ohio State’s Matt Marinchick, Penn State’s Kevin Fellows, Purdue’s Andrew Ford and Wisconsin’s Wilkinson. These 11 student-athletes are now candidates for the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award, as the Conference office will honor one male and one female student-athlete from each institution at the end of the school year.

Even though I think Dials should be on the first-team, it's hard to argue against any of the guys that made it.

I think you could argue that a majority of them play the same damn position, and that certain criteria for guard-play is arbitrarily being favored over criteria for big men, and that those guys wouldn't all start on the same team.

(But then again, I'm biased).

Well, lets look at the lines, you be the judge.

Terrence Dials 16.4 PPG (5th in conference) 7.9 RPG (3rd in conference) 58% Field Goal percentage (3rd in conference). Averaged less than one assist per contest.

Deron Williams 12.4 PPG (18th in conference) 6 assists per game (1st in conference) Not in top 20 in rebounds. Not in top 15 in field goal percentage.

By the way, did they show a picture of Wilkinson's fiance when they announced his name today? Jeez, she gets more damn air time than most players. How much you want to bet they'll show her geeky ass in the crowd during the Big Ten/ NCAA tourney?

Maybe if Dials had a superstitious girlfriend bandgeek, he could have made 1st team over Wilkinson. FWIW, Dials averaged more points and rebounds per game than Wilkinson... not to mention for most of the B10 season, he was often times our ONLY offensive option and kept us in just about every game... especially impressive when considering how our outside shooting tapered off in conference play. He was an absolute stud and should have been first team.

I agree 100%....Dials was often triple teamed down low. I think he should have made first team over Mike Wilkinson, Dial's stats are much better and the determination he showed all year while being the main offensive weapon for the Buckeyes was very impressive.
