University of Southern Indiana Men’s Basketball senior guard Alex Stein (Evansville, Indiana) has been selected Division II Conference Commissioner’s Association honorable mention All-America in a vote by the Division II sports information directors.

A preseason All-American by Division II Bulletin and Street & Smith’s College Basketball, Stein is collecting post-season All-America honors for the second straight season after garnering honorable mention All-America honors by Division II Bulletin as a junior in 2018. He is the 23rd player in program history to earn All-America honors.

Stein, who was named first-team National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District on Monday, leads the Screaming Eagles with 20.6 points per game in addition to averaging 3.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists per contest. He also ranks second in the GLVC, 42nd nationally, in scoring and first in the league, eighth nationally, in free throws made.

The three-time first-team All-GLVC performer also became the third USI player to reach 2,000 career points this year. He needs three points to tie Chris Bowles (2,169) for second all-time at USI in scoring and 50 to match Stephen Jackson (2,216) for first-place.

In addition to the All-District and All-Region awards, Stein was named third-team Google Cloud Academic All-America by the College Sports Information Directors; first-team All-Great Lakes Valley Conference; NCAA II Midwest Regional Most Outstanding Player; and GLVC All-Tournament.
