Roddy, Hamilton and Ike were joined on the media panel’s All-Mountain West First Team by Fresno State’s Orlando Robinson and Wyoming guard Hunter Maldonado.
Boise State’s Leon Rice was voted Mountain West Coach of the Year after leading the Broncos to their first outright MW championship. Boise State went 24-7 overall and 15-3 in league play despite not having a player voted by the media to First Team. Wyoming’s Jeff Linder received the other three votes for league’s top coach.
The league champion Broncos had two players — seniors Kigab and Marcus Shaver — voted to the second team while Emmanuel Akot and Tyson Degenhart were honorable mentions, giving Boise State the most players recognized overall in the poll. Degenhart, a 6-7 forward, was also the unanimous selection for Freshman of the Year.
Joining Shaver and Kigab on the league’s Second Team were Utah State forward Justin Bean, Colorado State point guard Isaiah Stevens and unanimous Newcomer of the Year selection Matt Bradley, the San Diego State senior guard who is averaging 17.8 points per game (19.7 per game in conference play).
San Diego State’s Nathan Mensah is the Defensive Player of the Year and voted third team all-conference. Mensah received nine votes for top defender with Fresno State’s Robinson collecting the other two.
UNLV’s Donovan Williams was selected as 6th Man of the Year, receiving six votes.
Voting was conducted independent of Mountain West oversight by media directly covering teams in all 11 league markets. In markets where more than one outlet covers a team closely, beat reporters from competing outlets submitted a joint ballot, giving each market one vote.
Voters ranked players 1 through 15 for first-, second- and third-team All-Mountain West with the top player getting 15 points and on down to the 15th ranked player receiving one point.
All vote totals are included for each selection. Voters are allowed, but not required, to publicize their own ballot.
