We couldn't be more proud of Ben and the elite play he showed. He proved he is one of the best players in our conference.
"Being named to the All-Championship team is a feat not many Gophers have accomplished in our history. He earned every bit of it. Now it's time to celebrate our incredible seniors and the commitment they have shown to our program. It is incredible the effort and energy they have poured in our program."
