MINNEAPOLIS - University of Minnesota sophomore center Amanda Zahui B. earned a spot on the 2015 Big Ten Women's Basketball All-Tournament Team Sunday after averaging 23.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 7.0 blocks per game in two contests at the event, the league office announced Sunday night.
Over the course of the tournament, Zahui B. totaled 46 points, 22 rebounds and a Big Ten Tournament record 14 blocks. The center also shot .552 (16-29) from the field and was 14-of-17 from the free throw line.
