BUFFALO, NY – Javon McCrea and Mitchell Watt have been named to the NABC All-District Team. McCrea was named to the first team, while Watt earned second-team honors.

Watt, the 2012 MAC Player of the Year, is averaging 16.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.3 blocked shots per game – all career highs. He ranks in the top four in the conference in five different categories, including scoring (1st), rebounding (4th), field goal percentage (4th), blocked shots (2nd) and defensive rebounds (4th). He is averaging 25.5 points over the last four games.
By being named to the All-District team, both players are now eligible for All-America consideration to be announced on March 22.
