Allen-Jordan, Harris and Tyler honored at MSC banquet

FRANKFORT, Ky. — CU men's basketball had three more student-athletes pick up regular-season honors at tonight's Mid-South Conference banquet at the Capital Plaza Hotel.

Dii'jon Allen-Jordan and Sekou Harris were named First Team All-MSC, while Hagen Tyler was named Freshman of the Year (see separate story).

Allen-Jordan and Harris, who have been teammates throughout high school (Plainfield HS) and now their senior year's of college, were the catalyst for CU all season.

Allen-Jordan is fifth in the nation in total rebounds (287), first in the Mid-South in rebounds per game (9.57) and No. 10 in the country in blocks (52). In scoring, he is second in total points with 499 and third by hitting 55.2 percent from the field. In addition, Allen-Jordan is tied for seventh in the NAIA with 13 double-doubles.  In January, the senior forward was also named to the Bevo Francis Top 100 Watch List by Small College Basketball.

Harris has played dual roles for CU this season, as he has doubled as point guard and shooting guard. Harris is just behind Allen-Jordan by scoring 15.9 points per game and has 11 20-plus point performances this season – and three straight to end the regular season.

The senior from Plainfield, N.J. ranks No. 12 in total assists with 143 and leads the Mid-South averaging 4.9 dimes per game.
