COLLEGE BASKETBALL: Bader, Hamilton, Petros earn Summit League honors
SIOUX FALLS, S.D – Oakland’s Reggie Hamilton was named All-Summit League First Team, while Travis Bader was honorable mention and Corey Petros was selected to the All-Newcomer Team, announced by the league office on Thursday afternoon.
Hamilton earns first-team accolades for the second consecutive season after leading the nation in scoring at 25.5 points per game.
Oral Roberts’ Dominique Morrison is The Summit League Player of the Year, while ORU’s Steven Roundtree earned Sixth Man of the Year honors and North Dakota State’s Lawrence Alexander is the Newcomer of the Year. Morrison finished second in the league behind Hamilton in scoring at 22.2 points per game, but led the Golden Eagles to The Summit League regular-season championship.
ORU’s Scott Sutton was named Coach of the Year.
Hamilton, a senior guard from Chicago, broke the league single-season scoring record with 790 points this season. He also broke the school season record with 216 free-throws made, 14 30-point games and six consecutive 30-point games heading into the tournament. Hamilton has a career-best 98 triples this season, fourth-best in single-season school history, and led The Summit League with five player of the week selections.
Bader, a sophomore guard from Okemos, Mich., leads The Summit League with 104 threes this season and is third in the country. He is averaging close to five triples per game over the last nine games and has reached double figures in 24 of 31 games this season. Bader broke the single-game school record with 10 3-pointers versus South Dakota State (2/26) and was named the Capital One Impact Player of the Week.
Petros, a freshman from Utica, Mich., led the Golden Grizzlies in rebounding and finished the regular season second in The Summit League with 7.2 boards per game. He posted four double-doubles and shot 54.8 percent from the floor, seventh-best in the league. Petros’ 16-rebound performance against Ohio (12/7) is the highest single-game rebound total in the league this season.
