CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia junior Isaac McKneely was named to the NABC Division I East All-District Second Team, announced Tuesday (March 18). The All-District honors are voted on by NABC-member coaches across NCAA Division I.
McKneely, who led UVA in scoring at 14.4 points per game, ranked first in the ACC in 3-point percentage (42.1%), second in 3-pointers per game (3.2), eighth in minutes (34.4 mpg) and 20th in scoring (14.4 ppg). In league games only, McKneely ranked second in 3-pointers per game (3.2), fourth in 3-point percentage (39.8%), 12th in minutes (34.6 mpg), 13th in field goal percentage (43.6%) and 18th in scoring (15.4 ppg).
The sharpshooter netted eight 20-point games and match a season high with 27 points in UVA’s season-ending loss to Georgia Tech in the second round of the ACC Tournament. McKneely scored his 1,000 career point at North Carolina and ranks 47th on UVA’s all-time scoring list with 1,089 career points.
The NABC introduced a new model for its Division I district alignment this season, with schools arranged by state rather than by conference. The modernized NABC Division I district alignment features 10 geographic regions that each encompass multiple states. Every Division I school in each given state belongs to that state’s corresponding district.
