The Big Ten named its all-conference players Tuesday, and Michigan basketball was represented by Vladislav Goldin and Danny Wolf. The front-court duo was relatively consistent throughout the regular season, and they’re arguably the best four-five combination in the country.
Goldin spent the past three seasons at Florida Atlantic University, and Wolf played at Yale for two seasons before joining Michigan.

The Russia native is averaging 16.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.4 blocks per game this season. Goldin has recorded a double-double in four of the last seven games and is putting up 20.6 points and 9.1 boards per contest over that stretch.
Wolf

Wolf had 18 points and 13 rebounds against Michigan State Sunday to mark his 13th double-double of the season. He is averaging 12.9 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 blocks per game.
Given the way their guards have been playing, Goldin and Wolf will have to be at their best for the Wolverines to find success in the Big Ten/NCAA tournaments.
