BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana redshirt senior guard Lamar Wilkerson was named All-Great Lakes District First Team, the National Association of Basketball Coaches announced on Tuesday morning.
Wilkerson averaged 20.9 points per game, the highest scoring rate for a Hoosier guard since Eric Gordon (2007-08). He added 3.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.0 steal per outing and finished the season as one of three Hoosiers to start all 32 games. Wilkerson shot 46.3% (227-of-490) from the floor, 37.8% (104-of-275) from the 3-point line, and 88.8% (111-of-125) from the free throw line.
The Ashdown, Ark., native made 104 shots behind the arc during his lone season with the Cream and Crimson, the second most in program history behind only Steve Alford's total of 107 during the 1986-87 campaign. His 70 made 3-pointers in conference play established a program record. His free throw percentage of 88.8% ranked fourth in Indiana history for players with more than 100 made free throws in a single season.
He upped his averaged to 23.2 points per game in Big Ten Conference play, the ninth-highest average in program history and the most points per contest in league games since George McGinnis (29.9) during the 1970-71 season. Wilkerson (464 points) broke the program record for points scored in a single season of Big Ten Conference play set by Don Schlundt (459) during the 1952-53 season.
The Sam Houston State transfer scored 669 total points, the 11th-most in a single season in program history. He tallied at least 10 points in 29 games, topped 20 points on 16 occasions, and cleared 30 points four times. He produced two of the most prolific scoring performances in Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall history with 41 points against Oregon (Feb. 9) and a career-best 44 points against Penn State (Dec. 9), a building record.
