Penn and Robbins Named To NABC All-District Second Team

Sophomore duo collects more honors

Drake University sophomores Liam Robbins and Roman Penn have been named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches All-District Second Team.

The two recent honors add to an impressive postseason haul for the duo as Robbins was named second-team All-MVC, MVC All-Defensive and MVC Most Improved. Penn was named third-team All-MVC and to the All-Newcomer Team.

Robbins' latest honor caps a season in which he finished fifth in the nation in blocks with 2.91 blocks per game this season and a school-record 99 total blocks. Those 99 blocks were the third-most in a season in Valley history. He also added 14.1 points per game as Drake's leading scorer and 7.1 rebounds per game to lead the Bulldogs. 

Penn was one of the top point guards in the nation and led the Valley in assists with 192, the second-most in a season in Drake history to rank 31st nationally with 5.6 assists per game. He was also second on the team in scoring at 12.0 points per game and was one of just four players in the nation to record at least 400 points, 160 rebounds and 190 assists this season. 

The NABC all-district team was voted on by members coaches of the NABC.
