It will be close in voting who is the John Wooden Award-Winner for College Basketball's M.V.P.. I know this the two favs Frank the "Tank" Kaminsky (Lisle, Ill Benet Academy) and Jahlil Okafor (Chicago, Ill Whitney Young HS) are both from Illinois and the "Bigs" that have come out of the 312 and the Chicago Land Area in the last 6-7 years is off the charts. With the likes of Anthony Davis and Jabari Parker leading the way.

Having said that on Senior Day in Madison, Wisconsin on the Campus of the University of Wisconsin at the Kohl Centre Frank the "Tank" Kaminsky went out with the "Big Bang Theory"...31 points 8 rebounds and shooting 3 for 4 from the arc. The Michigan State Spartans had no chance stopping the most versatile "Big" I have seen since Anthony Davis of Kentucky as Kaminsky shot the money ball more as Coach Cal had Davis strictly close to the basket and in the painted-area.

More importantly Kaminsky and the Badgers have won the Big 10 season title and many have them winning the Big 10 Tourney. They beat the Spartans 68-61 as Badgers PF Nigel Hayes added 14 points and "Sam Dekker dba "Badgers & Decker" chipped in with 8 points and nine boards. Sparty was led by Bryn Forbes 21 points off the bench.

Wisconsin moves to 26-3 and 14-2 in the Big 10 as Sparty falls to 19-10 and 10-6 in the BIG 10 play.

Note: Badgers PG Traevon Jackson (son of great Buckeye All-American Jimmy Jackson) is sidelined with a Broken Foot he injured back in January and they are expecting him back through reports as soon as this week.
