Men's Basketball Guard Marcus Foster Named All-District By USBWA

OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton guard Marcus Foster has been selected as an All-District VI selection by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association for the second straight season. District VI consists of schools from the seven state region of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.

Two days ago Foster became the first player in program history to earn First Team All-BIG EAST honors twice. The senior from Wichita Falls, Texas, leads Creighton with 20.3 points per game while also adding 3.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game. Foster topped the BIG EAST Conference with 145 field goals made in league play. He's scored 10 or more points in 30-of-31 games this season and in just two seasons has moved into the top-25 in school history with 1,268 points as a Bluejay. Foster also joined Bob Portman and Doug McDermott as the only Bluejays to ever post multiple seasons of 600 or more points. Foster was named a Midseason All-American by Sporting News and has also has been a candidate for the Jerry West Award, Naismith Trophy, Wooden Award and Senior CLASS Award.
