Murray State forward Cuthbert Victor, who has been in the top 10 nationally in rebounding and field goal percentage all season, was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches' All-District Team, the NABC announced on Friday.
Victor, a 6-5 senior from St. Croix, Virgin Islands, was selected to the District 7 first-team along with Matt Frieje of Vanderbilt, Francisco Garcia of Louisville and Gerald Fitch and Erik Daniels of Kentucky.
In his final season, Victor is leading the Racers in scoring (14.7 ppg), rebounding (10.4 rpg), blocked shots (43) and field goal percentage (.620).
A preseason first-team All-Ohio Valley Conference selection, Victor has been named OVC player of the week four times this year. Nationally, Victor is ranked fourth in rebounding and 10th in field goal percentage.
NABC member coaches selected 150 student-athletes from 15 districts, and each player selected is eligible for the Division I All-American Team.
With the selection, Victor becomes the 26th Racer to be named to the NABC All-District Team, and first first-team member since Isaac Spencer was selected first-team in 2000. Murray State has had more players selected to the All-District team than any other OVC school. Last season, former Racer James Singleton was a second-team District 7 selection.
Seniors Ricky Minard of Morehead State and Adrian Henning of Austin Peay represent the OVC on the District 7 second-team, along with Scooter McFagdon of Tennessee, Antonio Burks of Memphis and Chuck Hayes of Kentucky.
