Borchert claimed Player of the Year accolades for the second consecutive year and becomes the third Titan to receive the award in back-to-back seasons. Previous back-to-back winners were Ralph Sims (1977-78) and Tim Dworak (2002-03). Borchert secured first team honors for the third straight season after leading the WIAC with 10.9 rebounds per game, while ranking fourth with a .549 field goal percentage, fifth with 15.5 points per contest and ninth with 30 steals. He has reached double figures in rebounding in 16 games, including a season-high 19 against UW-Platteville on Nov. 30. Borchert has 1,270 career points and 832 career rebounds.
 
Repeat selections on the first team from last year included: UW-La Crosse’s Ethan Anderson and UW-Oshkosh’s Hunter Plamann. Both individuals also received first team honors in 2021, with Anderson adding first team selection in 2020. He is the first four-time All-WIAC first team selection in UW-La Crosse history.
 
Barnstable leads the conference with a .891 free throw percentage, while ranking third with a .417 three-point field goal percentage and sixth with 15.2 points per game. He is the highest scoring freshman in the WIAC. A Newcomer of the Year is defined as a student-athlete who used his first season of participation in men’s basketball this season. Transfers are not eligible unless they didn’t participate in men’s basketball at their previous institution.
 
UW-Oshkosh’s Eric Peterson claimed a spot on the five-member All-Defensive Team for the third consecutive year. UW-Eau Claire Alex Voigt was an all-defensive pick in 2021.
 
Lewis received the coaching honor for the second straight season and third time in his career (2019). He has led the Titans to the 15th WIAC regular-season championship in program history and a spot in the NCAA tournament. UW-Oshkosh owns a 21-6 record and put together a 12-game winning this year.
