Kansas City, Mo. -- Missouri Southern junior guard CJ Carr has been named a second-team All-Central Region pick today by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).
Carr was a second-team All-MIAA pick and was a member of this year's All-MIAA Tournament Team. This year, Carr led the team in scoring from start to finish. Carr averaged 19.2 points, 5.6 assists and 2.1 steals per game, while starting in every game and averaging 36 minutes per contest.
Carr put himself in the Southern record books this season as he set a new MSSU single-game record with 16 assists against Pittsburg State on Feb. 4. He also became the second-highest single game scorer in the history of the program as he scored 47 points in a double-overtime win over Minnesota State earlier this season. Carr finished the regular-season sixth in the MIAA in scoring.
Carr led the MIAA in assists per game, steals per game, total assists, total field goal attempts, total minutes and total steals this year, while ranking third in minutes per game. He is 17th in Division II total field goal attempts, while ranking 19th in both total steals and total assists. He ranks 23rd nationally in assists per game, while ranking 26th in total minutes and 31st in steals per game.
Carr also helped the Lions set a new single-season record for three pointers made as the team knocked down 250. The Lions are also the only team so far do defeat Northwest Missouri as the Bearcats are in the Elite Eight as the No. 2 seed nationally. In that game, Carr scored 26 points, going 12-18 from the field with three assists and three steals.
