FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State junior forward David Roddy was picked up another national award as the Minneapolis native was named Honorable Mention All-American by the Associated Press, the organization announced today. He is one of two non-Power 5 or Gonzaga players, along with Oral Roberts' Max Abmas, on the 24-person list that encompassed three All-American teams and an honorable mention list. Roddy is the fifth CSU player ever to be recognized as an All-American, also having been named to Sports Illustrated's third team.

Last week, he was named the Mountain West Player of the Year by the league's coaches and media in two separate polls. Just the third conference player of the year pick in CSU history joining Gian Clavell (2017-MW) and Mike Mitchell (1990-WAC), Roddy earned the consensus honors from both the media and the coaches' separate selections. Also a finalist for the Wooden and Malone awards, the Minneapolis, Minn., native finished third in the league in conference scoring at 19.4 points per game, sixth in rebounding at 7.6 and first in field goal percentage at 57.4 percent. He was also 13^th with 2.8 assists per game, eighth in blocks at 1.1 and 17^th in minutes at 32.7 per contest. He became the 31^st player in CSU history to reach 1,000 career points and is currently ninth with 1,393 points. He has seven double-doubles on the year and was named the USVI Paradise Jam MVP after averaging 31.0 points per game in leading CSU to the title with wins over Bradley, Creighton and Northeastern. During that tournament he had two 30+ point games, including a career-high 36 against Creighton.

In league play, he was sixth in scoring at 19.06 points per game, fifth in rebounding at 7.61, first in field goal percentage at 56.6 percent from the floor and 12^th with 3.06 assists per contest. He had a high of 31 points on 10-of-14 shooting from the field along with nine rebounds and three steals in the win at New Mexico in his first game in The Pit. He scored in double figures in 17 of 18 league games, including nine of 20 or more. Recently, he had a game-high 23 points, four rebounds and two assists in a home win over league champion Boise State to sweep the season series with the Broncos. He was also named to the Mountain West Championship All-Tournament team for his play in CSU's two contests.

Roddy was one of the leaders for a CSU squad that recorded 25 wins in the regular season, tied for the third most in a single season, while the 14 conference wins ties the school record set by last year's team. The Rams were 14-1 at home this year, playing in front of a school-record five consecutive sellouts to end the regular season and a Mountain West era record for attendance. For the season, CSU led in scoring offense, scoring margin, field goal percentage, free throw percentage, turnover margin and assist-to-turnover ratio.

The Rams make their first appearance in the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship since 2013 when the South Region's No. 6 seed CSU takes on No. 11 seed Michigan on Thursday. Tip-off time at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis is set for 10:15 am MT on CBS.
