UIC

2017-2018 stats: 9.4 ppg, 5.7 rpg, 3.2 bpg

Odiase once again claims the defensive player of the year, as UIC’s defense improved from #226 last season to #142 this season on Kenpom.com because of Odiase. He ranked fifth in the country in blocks per game. Odiase also averaged 3.4 blocks per game and 1.0 steals per game during conference play.

UIC

Coach of the Year
Scott Nagy
Wright State

Wright State was picked to finish fifth in the preseason poll but went on to go 22-9 and 14-4 in conference to end up second in the Horizon League. Standout wing Mark Alskork transferred in the offseason, and Justin Mitchell left the team midway through the season. Despite losing both players, Nagy got the most out of his team and has been instrumental in the development of freshman standout Loudon Love.
