MAAC Players Named to 2013 Lou Henson All-America Team
MAAC Sports
Three MAAC men’s basketball players were named to the 2013 Lou Henson All-America Team.
The team includes Billy Baron from Canisius College, Lamont Jones from Iona College and Juan’ya Green from Niagara University.
Rather than assemble a first team, second team, third team and honorable mention; the Lou Henson All-America team is one squad consisting one 25 players.
The Lou Henson Award is presented annually to the top Mid-Major player in Division I college basketball. The award is named in honor of Lou Henson, who retired after a spectacular coaching career that lasted 41 years. When he left the game in 2005, he was sixth all-time in career Division I wins with 779. He is the winningest coach at both Illinois and New Mexico State. He is one of only 12 coaches in the history of the game to take two schools to the Final Four.
The 2013 Award will be presented at the CollegeInsider.com awards banquet in Atlanta, site of the men's NCAA Basketball Championship.
