BOSTON – College of Charleston's Joe Chealey (Orlando, Fla.) and Grant Riller (Orlando, Fla.) were both honored on the 2017-18 Lou Henson All-America Team.
The Lou Henson Award is presented annually to the nation's top NCAA Division I mid-major player.
This past season, Chealey (18.0 ppg) and Riller (18.6 ppg) were selected to the All-Colonial Athletic Association First Team and led the Cougars to regular-season and tournament titles as well as the program's first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1999. Riller was honored as the CAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player.
Lou Henson coached 41 years. When he left the game in 2005 he was sixth all-time in career Division I wins with 779. He is the winningest coach at both Illinois and New Mexico State. He is one of only 12 coaches in the history of the game to take two schools to the Final Four.
The 2017-18 Lou Henson National Player of the Year Award will be announced on Monday, April 2 in San Antonio, site of the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship.
