The 2011 Ivy League Player of the Year, Keith Wright ’12 collected numerous individual accolades during his time at Harvard, while propelling the Crimson into a new era of team success that included three postseason appearances, two Ivy League titles, and a berth in the NCAA tournament.
A two-time team captain for Harvard, Wright gained Honorable Mention AP All-America accolades as a junior, while earning First Team All-Ivy and First Team NABC All-District during that same season. In 2010-11, the team’s Raymond P. Lavietes ’36 Most Valuable Player Award winner averaged 14.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game as Harvard won the Ivy League and advanced to the NIT for the first time in school history. As a senior in 2011-12, he captured First Team NABC All-Distict and Second Team All-Ivy, while helping lead the Crimson to the Ivy League title and the team’s first NCAA tournament berth since 1946.
A 1,000-point scorer for the Crimson (1,178 career points), he ranks second in school history in career blocks (146), fifth in career rebounds (743) and eighth in career field goal percentage (56.0). Over his final three seasons, he helped the Crimson total a 70-20 overall record and a 34-8 Ivy League mark as Harvard tallied at least 21 victories overall and at least 10 Ivy wins over each year from 2009-12.
