Boise State’s Chandler Hutchison named second team All-Mountain West by media
Boise State junior Chandler Hutchison was named a second-team All-Mountain West selection Sunday by local media around the conference. Sophomore Paris Austin received honorable mention.
Voting was based on players’ statistics from conference games.
Colorado State’s Gian Clavell was named the conference’s Player of the Year, and head coach Larry Eustachy was selected Coach of the Year.
Hutchison, a guard from Mission Viejo, Calif., leads Boise State in scoring (17.2 ppg) and rebounding (8 rpg). His 16.9 points and 7.8 rebounds per game in MW games ranked fifth and sixth, respectively, in the league.
Austin averaged 13.6 points per game in conference play and 12.5 overall.
The coaches’ All-Mountain West teams and awards will be released Tuesday morning.
Boise State plays in the quarterfinals of the Mountain West Tournament at 9:30 p.m. Thursday against the winner of Wednesday’s UNLV-San Diego State first-round game in Las Vegas.
