by Colorado College’s Eric Houska and CooXooEii Black (Northern Arapaho) received all-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference honors Saturday at the league’s 2018 postseason championship at Reid Arena.
Houska earned a spot on the first team for the second year in a row, while Black was a second-team selection in the ballot of the SCAC’s head coaches.
Senior guard John Hatch received honorable-mention accolades.
Black finished the regular season ranked second in the conference with a team-leading 8.8 rebounds per game average. His 15.8 scoring average was 10th in the SCAC and second on the team.
A product of Lander, Wyo., Black led the Tigers with eight double-doubles (points-rebounds).
He also was one of the league’s most accurate shooters, finishing the regular-season ranked second in field-goal percentage (.555) and 10th from the free-throw line (.770).
In less than two seasons, Black already ranks among the program’s all-time leaders with 650 points (No. 51) and 333 rebounds (No. 36).
