BGSU MBB Players Honored, Turner first-team All-MAC for third straight year

 The Men's All-MAC teams are out today.  Some very strong honors for BG MBB today.

First, Justin Turner was named first-team All-MAC for the third time.  He joins Howard Komives, Nate Thurmond, Cornelius Cash and Jim Darrow as the only Falcons to be first-team All-MAC three years in a row.

Congrats to Justin, it was well earned.  What an incredible career at BG for him.  It has been a blessing to watch him play.

Marreon Jackson was the MAC Player of the Year.  It's hard to argue with that choice.  He had a great season, especially in MAC play.  He scored big points at a highly efficient rate and led the MAC in assists and steals.  Turner had a POY quality year, just not as good as Jackson's.

In other news, Trey Diggs was named the 6th Man of the Year.  This is also well deserved.  I think we had the idea he was mostly a shooter, but he was a key part of BG's rotation in a variety of different facets of the game, which he is being recognized for.

Daeqwon Plowden was third-team All-MAC.  He was second-team last year and for my money he was this year as well.  Still a huge honor for him.  Watching him development has been great--and a part of college basketball that I fear we are about to lose (watching a player develop over 4 years).

BG had two players on the All-Freshman team as well.  You'd certainly have expected Matheny to be on the team and I was pleasantly surprised to see Josiah Fulcher recognized.  He certainly earned it.  Also, I feel like this shows we have a foundation for the program for the future.

Congrats to all these young men for their great seasons and for Turner, Diggs and Plowden, for great Falcon careers.  Onward to the Q.
