WSU all over the Pac-12 All-Academic teams

The Washington State men’s basketball team had two players earn first team All-Academic honors, and placed two more on the second team.

Josh Hawkinson and Junior Longrus made first team for the first time in their careers (both earned second team honors last season). Furthermore, Ny Redding and Valentine Izundu were placed on the second team, giving WSU four of the 10 available spots on the first two teams. However Redding, a sophomore, left the team shortly after the team’s first-round Pac-12 tournament exit.

No other school had more than one player make either first or second team All-Academic.
