Boise State forward Tyson Degenhart continues to receive honors for his stellar senior season.

Degenhart, the Broncos’ all-time leading scorer, was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches Mountain District First Team, the organization announced Tuesday morning. 

The Mountain District is comprised of 10 states: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. 

A four-year standout, Degenhart holds career averages of 14.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.4 assists. The 6-foot-8 forward is putting up 17.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists this season for Boise State (24-10), which didn’t receive a bid for the NCAA Tournament. 

The Broncos were selected for the inaugural College Basketball Crown, a 16-team tournament that runs March 31 through April 6 in Las Vegas. Boise State opens play in the Crown at 3:30 p.m. Mountain time on March 31 against George Washington (21-12) at MGM Grand Garden Arena.

During last week’s Mountain West Tournament, Degenhart became Boise State’s all-time leading scorer. Degenhart will enter the Crown with career 1,971 points. Tanoka Beard held the previous record of 1,944 points. 

Degenhart was also a NABC first-team all-district selection as a junior. He is a three-time first-team all-MWC pick. 

The MWC was well-represented on the NABC Mountain District teams. 

Colorado State guard Nique Clifford, New Mexico point guard Donovan Dent — the MWC Player of the Year — New Mexico center Nelly Junior Joseph and Utah State guards Mason Falslev and Ian Martinez were all first-team selections.
