Kearney, Neb. – Nebraska-Kearney junior forward Trey Lansman has been named a first-team All-MIAA pick for the 2016-17 season.

The all-conference team was released this afternoon with 14 head coaches voting on the makeup of the squad. They cannot vote for their own players.

Lansman (Harlan, Ia.) earns his second All-MIAA honor as he was a third-team pick a year ago. Juniors Ty Danielson (York) and Yashua Trent (Chicago) and sophomore Isaiah McKay (Brooklyn Park, Minn.) join Lansman on this year's All-MIAA team as each was named honorable mention.
 

This foursome helped UNK go 19-9 during the regular season and finish third in the MIAA with a 12-7 record. Kearney entered the year having to replace All-American Connor Beranek and two-time All-MIAA forward Ethan Brozek.

One of two Lopers to start all 28 games, Lansman enters the MIAA Tournament at 19.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.8 blocks per game. Shooting 49% from the field and 81% at the line, he also has 25 steals and made 30 three pointers.

Finally, Lansman averages a team-high 34 minutes per game, has nine double doubles to date and twice been named the MIAA Player of the Week this winter.

Next, Danielson comes in at 13.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. He ranks second on the team in threes made (32) while leading in both free throws made (155) and attempted (187).

A redshirt sophomore guard, McKay has made a team-high 54 threes to average 13.0 points per game. Shooting 86% at the line and 44% from the three point line, he also supplies 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game and has started all 28 games.

 

Finally, from the point guard spot, Trent is at 12.4 points, a team-high 4.6 assists and a team-high 1.4 steals per game. Making a team-best 59% of his field goals, the first-year Loper also averages 3.1 rebounds a night and is shooting 39% from behind the arc.

League champion Northwest Missouri State has the Coach (Ben McCollum) and Player (junior guard Justin Pitts) of the Year. Junior post Brady Skeens is the Defensive P.O.Y. with Missouri Southern State forward Elyjah Clark the top freshman. Finally, Skeens highlights the five-member All-Defensive team.
 
The Lopers play either Washburn or Southwest Baptist in the MIAA Tournament quarterfinals Thursday at noon in Kansas City.
