UW has now had nine first-team all-conference players in Bo Ryan’s 10 seasons as head coach. Leuer and Taylor are Wisconsin’s first selections to the first team since Brian Butch was a consensus slection in 2008. They are also the first duo to be placed on the same first-team All-Big Ten list in the same season. Michael Finley (coaches) and Rashard Griffith (media) both earned first-team honors on separate lists in 1995.
