CHARLOTTE, N.C. – UNCG sophomore guard Trevis Simpson was named to the North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association's University Division All-State Men's Basketball Second Team, the organization announced Tuesday.
Nominees were submitted by North Carolina sports information professionals. NCCSIA members voted for the all-state teams. Teams are selected for men and women in both the college and university (NCAA Division I) divisions.
Simpson led the Southern Conference in scoring at 18.3 points per game, becoming the first Spartan to ever lead the league in scoring.
