The Murray State Racers continued to garner post-season honors when the National Association of Basketball Coaches recognized three MSU student-athletes on March 17.
MSU's Ivan Aska and Isacc Miles were named to the All-NABC District 19 First Team, while B.J. Jenkins was named to the second team.
The trio just finished leading the Racers into the second round of the NCAA Tournament where they defeated Vanderbilt in the first round 66-65 before dropping a heartbreaking 54-52 defeat in the second round to Butler. The NCAA win for Murray State was their second in school history and first since 1988.
Aska, a sophomore from Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., was the third on a Racer team that five players average in double-figures with 10.3 points per game and he was second on the team with 4.8 rebounds per game.
Miles, a junior from Kansas City, Mo., led the team in assists with 132 and scored 9.7 points per game while 37 percent from three-point range.
Jenkins, a junior from Virginia Beach, Va., was the team leader in steals with 64 and led MSU with 10.6 points per game.
Miles and Jenkins were also named to the All-Ohio Valley Conference First Team.
