AAC All-Conf Teams

reynolds should grad transfer to us. That would be a really nice ingredient to drop into the mix. He would get a ton of attention instead of lost at Tulane.

Congrats to Semi, Ben, Shake and Sterling......they should have all been first team selections along with Caupain. PPG play too big a role in these selections. We should use this as motivation to decimate everyone we play in the AAC Tourney.

Caupain was not the same player this year as he was the last two.

I agree-I was surprised he was recognized

.392 FG%
.658 FT%

not that great

Ben E won American sixth-man of the year!

[blackoutpony]

LOL a guy who average 4.5 PPG and 2.7 RPG is not getting 6th man of the year. Yes he plays nice defense, but stats matter.

Markus average 9.3 and 6.3 when he won it.

I would like to voluntarily put my foot in my mouth.

Congrats to Gu

[mrydel]

I am also delightfully surprised.

I know this is an all conference team and achievement, but Foster is the only top 6 Mustang without an honor. And he most definitely has been a key to the teams success.

Congratulations to all Mustangs to be honored and Jarrey, 9.9 PPG (52% FG made), 5.1 RPG, and 2.3 assist per games, I salute you.

Yeah good point. Hopefully he will use it as a chip on his shoulder to be a key cog in a big March run.

Jarrey steps up to leadership role next year.
