BOISE, Idaho — Boise State standout Tyson Degenhart cemented his name in Bronco history Tuesday as the Mountain West unveiled its official men's basketball all-conference teams and individual honors.
The junior forward was named to the first team for the second-straight year, joining Chandler Hutchison as the only players in program history to earn the honor in back-to-back seasons since joining the Mountain West.
Degenhart ranked second with 18.2 points per game during conference play, and scored 20 or more points in 10 of 18 games. He also shot 54.2% from the floor and grabbed 6.5 rebounds on average during those contests.
Tuesday's selections – which feature four Boise State players – were voted on by the Mountain West's 11 head coaches. O'Mar Stanley earned second-team honors in his first year in the City of Trees, one day after the media tabbed him to the third team.
Stanley and Utah State's Great Osobor were the only two players in the league with more than 400 points, 190 rebounds and 35 blocks during the regular season. The 6-foot-8 forward and St. John's transfer posted 14.4 points and 7.2 rebounds per outing during conference play.
Boise State guard Max Rice also picked up recognition from the league's coaches for the second-consecutive season Tuesday, earning an honorable mention nod. The Boise native was named to the second team during the 2022-2023 campaign.
Rice ranked fourth shooting 36.6% from behind the arc during Mountain West play and led the league with a 35-point performance in Boise State's win over New Mexico on Jan. 31. Rice totaled 13 points per game against conference opponents.
Agbo also received honorable mention honors, his first all-conference selection since joining the Broncos after transferring from Texas Tech. The senior guard averaged 12. 4 points and 5.2 rebounds in conference games, while shooting 42.5% from the floor.
Roberto Bergersen (1998-99 Big West), John Coker (1994-95 Big Sky), Tanoka Beard (1991-93 Big Sky) and Chris Childs (1987-89 Big Sky) are the only other Broncos to earn first-team honors in back-to-back campaigns outside of Degenhart and Hutchison.
