This is impressive: the Big Ten accounted for 60 percent of the 2013-14 NBA All-Rookie First Team, announced Thursday. Orlando's Victor Oladipo (Indiana), the runner-up for NBA Rookie of the Year, Utah's Trey Burke (Michigan) and New York's Tim Hardaway Jr. (Michigan) made the team, along with Brooklyn's Mason Plumlee (Duke) and Philadelphia's Michael Carter-Williams (Syracuse).
