UNLV men’s basketball sophomore guard Patrick McCaw was selected Second Team All-Mountain West as voted on by the league’s 11 head coaches and announced Tuesday. McCaw was also named to the MW’s All-Defensive Team.
On Sunday, the league’s media released its All-MW selections and McCaw was also named second team all-league, while freshman forward Stephen Zimmerman Jr. earned honorable mention.
The coaches’ awards only considered league games, but the media votes could include all games with an emphasis on league games.
For league-only games, McCaw led the Runnin’ Rebels in scoring (13.6 ppg), rebounding (5.7 rpg), assists (3.8 apg) and steals (2.2 spg). He also led the team in free-throw percentage (79.4), 3-point field-goal percentage (34.3), 3-pointers made per game (2.0), assist-turnover ratio (1.9) and minutes played (33.9 per game).
Zimmerman’s games missed because of injury kept him out of the league leaders for conference-only games, but for all games, he led the team and was second in the MW in rebounding (9.1 rpg) and he was also first on the team and second in the league in blocked shots (2.1 per game). He also averaged 10.7 points per game.
The Runnin’ Rebels are the No. 7 seed for this week’s MW Tournament at the Thomas & Mack Center. UNLV will face No. 7 seed Air Force in the first round on Wednesday, March 9 at 1:30 p.m.
