FORT COLLINS, Colo. – With the best conference season in program history, the Mountain West coaches named three Rams to its all-conference teams, the league announced today. Sophomore forward David Roddy was honored on the first team, sophomore guard Isaiah Stevens earned second-team accolades and junior guard Adam Thistlewood was honorable mention. Roddy and Stevens received the identical recognition yesterday from the league's media representatives.

Roddy showed his development in his second year, increasing both his scoring and rebounding averages, going from 11.4 points and 5.6 rebounds a game last season to a team-bests of 16.3 points and 9.6 rebounds. Those numbers were even higher in MW play at 16.6 points and 9.9 rebounds per game, ranking, fourth and second, respectively, in the league. One of the toughest matchups in the Mountain West, Roddy hit 55.3 percent of his shots from the field, also second in the Mountain West, and also ranked 13^th in assists at 2.83 per game. Roddy's best game was in the 22-point win over Boise State, where he recorded career bests of 27 points and 15 rebounds in the victory. He also was just shy of the program's first triple-double when he had 12 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists in the March 3 win over New Mexico. He has recorded 10 double-doubles this season, nine of them coming in conference play, with the two against Fresno State and the double-double in the comeback win at SDSU earning him Mountain West Player of the Week honors.

Stevens also was a key piece of the puzzle for the Rams, averaging 15.0 points, 4.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists in conference action. He ranked 11^th in scoring, second in assists, fourth in free-throw percentage (84.1 percent), sixth in assist-to-turnover ratio (1.62), fourth in average minutes (34.84) and tied for 11^th in three pointers per game (1.89). He has a pair of points-assists double-doubles on the year in league play, giving him three in his career as there have only been 18 in program history. He had a stellar effort in the sweep against UNLV, averaging 23.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 50.0 percent from the field to garner MW Player of the Week honors. Part of that effort was a season-high 25 points in the opener against the Runnin' Rebels and then hitting the game-winning triple in the second game and sealing it with a pair of free throws. He ranks 12^th on CSU's career assists chart with 270 and is in the CSU top-20 in assists per game, free throw percentage and three-point field goal percentage.

Thistlewood earned his first postseason recognition after averaging 9.5 points and 4.0 rebounds a game on 47.6 percent from the floor and 39.6 percent from the three-point arc. One of the deadliest shooters in the Mountain West, he increased his averaged to 10.1 points per game and hitting 50.4 percent overall and 41.0 percent on threes. He is tied for 10^th in threes made during conference play and increased his defensive presence, as he tied for 12^th in blocked shots during MW action. He posted a career-high 27 points, hitting 11-of-13 from the field and a career-best five three-pointers and adding five rebounds in the home win over New Mexico March 3. He tied his previous career high with 24 points against Boise State and had 13 points, with four triples, in the come-from-behind win at then-No. 23 San Diego State.

The Rams earned the No. 3 seed in this week's Air Force Reserve Mountain West Championship and will play the winner of No. 6 Fresno State and No. 11 New Mexico on Thursday, March 11 at 9:30 p.m. MT on CBS Sports Network.
