Five Ivies Named To NABC All-District Teams

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Five Ivy League men’s basketball standouts have been named to the 2018-19 National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division I All-District Teams. Teams are selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC in NCAA Division I.
 
Cornell senior guard Matt Morgan, Penn junior forward AJ Brodeur and Yale junior guard Miye Oni were named to District 13 First-Team, while Harvard junior guard Bryce Aiken and Princeton senior forward Myles Stephens earned District 13 Second-Team honors.
 
Morgan, the second leading scorer in Ivy League history with 2,333 points, concluded his career behind only Princeton's Bill Bradley (2,503), becoming the sixth Ivy League and 574th Division I basketball player to surpass 2,000 career points. After leading the Ivy League in scoring for the fourth consecutive season, Morgan is ranked 18th nationally in points per game (22.2 ppg.). The Concord, N.C., native led Cornell to a tie for fourth and completed a season sweep of Ivy champ Harvard along the way to its biggest win total (15-16) since 2010.
 
A unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection for the second straight year, Brodeur led Penn this season in scoring (17.6 ppg), rebounding (8.3 rpg), field-goal percentage (52.8), assists (113) and blocked shots (41). He is the only player in the Ivy League who was top five in all five of those categories. The junior had 29 double-figure scoring games this season—including ten 20-point games and one 30-point game—and ended the season on a 25-game streak of such games. Brodeur finished the 2018-19 campaign with a team-high ten double-doubles, and will enter his senior season 15th on Penn's all-time scoring list with 1,365 points and second all-time with 148 blocked shots.
 
The 2019 Ivy League Player of the Year, Oni led Yale to its second Ivy League title in the previous three seasons and the program’s first Tournament Championship with a win over Harvard. Oni has scored in double figures in 27 of the 29 games he has appeared in, including 30 or more points in three games this season. The junior ranks third in scoring (17.1), assists per game (3.6), free throw percentage (.793) and fifth in three-point field goals made (1.9). Oni, a unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection, had five points and five rebounds in Yale’s first-round NCAA loss to LSU.
 
Aiken, a unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection, is averaging 22.4 points this season, and led the Ivy League with 22.2 per night in conference play. The Randolph, New Jersey native has tallied four games of at least 30 points, including the second-highest output in school history (44) earlier this season against Columbia. Aiken led the Crimson with 18 points on Wednesday in Harvard's NIT win over Georgetown.
 
Stephens finished the season with a 13.6 point-per-game average while shooting .424 from the field and led Princeton at a career-high 6.4 rebounds a game. Stephens was second on the team in blocks, with 19, and third on the team with 23 steals. During the season, Stephens posted 21 double-figure scoring games and twice reached his season-high scoring total of 21 points, first in the season opener against DeSales and then at Harvard on March 2. Stephens posted a career-high five double-doubles on the season.
