Marquette trio opens play at BIG EAST tourney on Thursday
Marquette University men's basketball players Justin Lewis, Darryl Morsell and Kam Jones have all been named among the BIG EAST Conference's top players, the league office announced Sunday afternoon.
Lewis has been tabbed All-BIG EAST First Team, Morsell All-BIG EAST Honorable Mention and Jones is a member of the BIG EAST All-Freshman Team (unanimous selection). Each of the three players earned his respective first career BIG EAST accolade in voting conducted by the league's head coaches.
Lewis, one of the league's most improved players, is ranked among the conference leaders in six categories. He is third in the league in scoring at 17.1 points per game and fourth in rebounding (8.0 rpg.). The Baltimore native was named BIG EAST Player of the Week on Sunday for the second time this season and courtesy of his 28-point effort in the regular season finale, he earned the scoring title in league outings at 18.2 points per game.
Morsell, an All-Big Ten selection at Maryland, is in his first season with the Golden Eagles. He has started all of his 29 appearances and is 16th in the league in scoring with 13.3 points per game. He has reached double figures in points on 20 occasions and scored 20-or-more points six times.
Jones has appeared in 29 outings in his debut season with Marquette, including seven starting assignments. He has scored double figures in seven games on the year and is contributing 7.5 points per contest. He is ranked 13th in the BIG EAST in 3-pointers per game (1.8) and shooting 39.6 percent from distance on the year.
The Golden Eagles have had at least one player honored each year since the program began league affiliation with the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 1989-90.
