by Colorado College’s CooXooEii Black (Northern Arapaho) received all-Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference honors on Saturday at the league’s 2019 postseason championship at Texas Lutheran University.
Black was a second-team selection for the second year in a row.
Black, who hails from Arapahoe, Wyo., finished third in the conference in overall scoring and rebounding, averaging 18.5 points and 7.2 boards per game. He also was second shooting better than 57 percent from the floor and third averaging one blocked shot per game.
The junior forward set personal single-season highs with 463 points, which ranked 23rd on the program’s single-season chart, as well as 52 assists.
Black became the 22nd player in the history of Colorado College men’s basketball to score 1,000 career points when he dropped a game-high 23 at the University of Dallas on Jan. 25.
A little more than two weeks later at Austin College, Black joined another exclusive group when he became the seventh Tiger to record both 1,000 or more career points and 500 or more career rebounds. He produced 17 points and 12 rebounds against the ‘Roos for the last of his six double-doubles of the season.
Black poured in a career-high 33 points during the 101-82 victory over Whittier College, one of 10 games on which he scored 20 or more points.
With one season remaining, Black is tied for 14th in program history with 513 rebounds, 19th with 1,113 points, and 32nd with 103 assists.
