The 2011–12 Big Ten Conference men's basketball season marks the continuation of the annual tradition of competitive basketball among Big Ten Conference members that began in 1904. The season marks the first season of participation of the Nebraska Cornhuskers men's basketball team in Big Ten competition. With the addition of Nebraska all teams will play seven other teams twice and four teams once during the conference schedule, which continues to be 18 games.[1] The season commenced on October 14 when Michigan State and Minnesota celebrated Midnight Madness and three more conference schools hosted events on the 15th.[2] For the fifth consecutive season, all conference games were broadcast nationally with 8 aired by CBS Sports, 36 carried by the ESPN Inc. family of networks including ESPN and ESPN2, while 64 games were carried by the Big Ten Network.[3][4] The conference enters the season riding a 35 season streak of leading the nation in attendance.[5]

The conference lost five players to the 2011 NBA Draft (JaJuan Johnson (27th overall), Jon Leuer (40th), Darius Morris (41st), Jon Diebler (51st) and E'Twaun Moore (55th)),[6] but the conference returns Jared Sullinger who was named 2011 USBWA National Freshman of the Year.[7][8] The conference had 3 2011 Consensus All-Americans (Sullinger and Johnson both first team and second team selection Jordan Taylor). Taylor returned for his senior season along with Sullinger. Sullinger repeated as a 2012 Consensus All-American and was joined by Draymond Green, who was named the NABC Player of the Year. The conference had three 2012 Academic All-Americans as well as both the Elite 89 Award (Aaron Craft) and the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award (Robbie Hummel) winners.

The regular season ended with Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State tied for the league championship. Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis hosted the 2012 Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament played Thursday, March 8 through Sunday, March 11.[9] Green was both the regular season and tournament MVP. The conference had an 11–6 record in the 68-team 2012 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, with 6 entrants, 4 sweet 16 competitors and Ohio State reaching the final four. The conference had a 6–3 record in the 32-team 2012 National Invitation Tournament, with 3 entrants and Minnesota losing in the championship game.

NABC

The National Association of Basketball Coaches announced their Division I All‐District teams on March 14, recognizing the nation’s best men’s collegiate basketball student-athletes. Selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC, 240 student-athletes, from 24 districts were chosen. The selection on this list were then eligible for the State Farm Coaches’ Division I All-America teams. The following list represented the Big Ten players chosen to the list.[53] Since the Big Ten Conference was its own district, this is equivalent to being named All-Big Ten by the NABC.[54]

 Second Team

USBWA

On March 6, the U.S. Basketball Writers Association released its 2011–12 Men's All-District Teams, based upon voting from its national membership. There were nine regions from coast to coast, and a player and coach of the year were selected in each. The following lists all the Big Ten representatives selected within their respective regions.[55]

District II (NY, NJ, DE, DC, PA, WV)

None Selected

 District V (OH, IN, IL, MI, MN, WI)

National postseason honors

Sullinger and Green were first team 2012 NCAA Men's Basketball All-Americans by The Sporting News, while Zeller was a member of their All-Freshman team.[56] Green and Sullinger were also first team All-American selections by the United States Basketball Writers Association.[57] On March 20, the NABC chose Green and Sullinger as a first team All-Americans.[58] Sullinger and Green were named first team Associated Press All-Americans, making them unanimous first team selections. Trey Burke, Robbie Hummel, Jordan Taylor, John Shurna, and Cody Zeller were honorable mention selections.[59] Hummel was named the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award winner.[60] Aaron Craft won the Elite 89 Award.[61][62] Green was named the NABC Player of the Year.[63] 41 men's basketball players in their second year or beayond earned Academic All-Big Ten recognition for carrying a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.[64]

CBSSports.com used a modified selection process that resulted in Green being named a first team All-American, while Sullinger and Burke were second team selections. The process derided the traditional basketball All-American process of nameing the best players and was modelled on the All-Pro or NHL All-Star Team formula of choosing the best players by position.[65] Shurna was also selected to participate in the NABC 2012 Reese's Division I All-Star Game at the 2012 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament final four.[66]
