INDIANAPOLIS – (Staff Report from Official USBWA News Release) – The United States Basketball Writers Association named its 2022-23 Men’s All-District Teams, based on voting from the membership of the national press membership. The USBWA has selected All-District teams since the 1956-57 season, its founding year.
For each of the nine geographic districts, ten players are selected, along with a player and coach of the year. Two schools – Houston (Marcus Sasser and coach Kelvin Sampson) and Purdue (Zach Edey and coach Matt Painter) – earned both the Player of the Year and Coach of the Year honors.
Twenty-three Division I conferences are represented among the 90 players honored by the USBWA with the Big Ten and SEC leading all conferences with 11 All-District players. The Big 12 has 10 selections featuring three Baylor teammates.
Fourteen other schools – UConn, Gonzaga, Houston, Indiana, Kansas, Kansas State, NC State, New Mexico, Providence, Saint Mary’s, Tennessee, UCLA, Utah State and Utah Valley – also have teammates named and honored by the USBWA.
