The Indiana men's basketball program received more preseason honors on Monday with the release of one Media Big Ten poll.
In a joint poll released annually by The Athletic and The Dispatch, the Hoosiers were atop the Big Ten votes for the 2022-23 season. The Hoosiers earned 19 first-place votes and 377 total votes, topping Illinois and Michigan.
Indiana brings back a large majority of its roster from last season -- including key players Trayce Jackson-Davis, Race Thompson and Xavier Johnson, all of whom received Big Ten honors last year.
While Trayce Jackson-Davis was named Preseason Player of the Year by another media poll last week, the media selected Michigan forward Hunter Dickinson as Preseason Player of the Year, edging Jackson-Davis by just one vote.
Indiana freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino earned Preseason Freshman of the Year honors for the conference. He received 16 votes, nine more than the second place Illinois guard Skyy Clark.
Jackson-Davis was also one of two players (Hunter Dickinson) to be named unanimous All-Big Ten First Team selections.
Indiana senior guard Xavier Johnson, who was left off the All-Big Ten teams earlier this preseason, was named a Second-Team selection by the media.
Race Thompson, an honorable mention selection last year, was left off both teams but did receive two votes.
