NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Vanderbilt student-athlete Liam Robbins added to his growing resume Tuesday, earning a spot on the U.S. Basketball Writers Association All-District Teams based on voting from its national membership.
The SEC Defensive Player of the Year, All-SEC first team, All-SEC defensive team and The Associated Press All-SEC second team selection, Robbins led the Commodores in points (15), rebounds (6.8) and blocks (3.2) per game during the regular season.
For each of the nine geographic districts, 10 players are selected as well as a player and coach of the year. Two schools—Houston (Marcus Sasser and coach Kelvin Sampson) and Purdue (Zach Edey and coach Matt Painter)—earned both the Player of the Year and Coach of the Year honors.
