UNI’s Morgan named to second team
CEDAR FALLS — Northern Iowa senior Jeremy Morgan received second-team all-conference men’s basketball honors from the Missouri Valley Conference on Tuesday, while also being named to the MVC All-Defensive team, the league announced.
Morgan led the Panthers in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, blocked shots, 3-pointers and free throws. He was the MVC Player of the Week twice this season and earned honorable mention all-MVC honors last year.
Morgan was able to corral 164 rebounds, take away 48 steals and swat away 31 shots to lead Northern Iowa this year. He’s the third Panther to earn multiple all-defensive team honors, joining Grant Stout and Kwadzo Ahelegbe.
Northern Iowa redshirt freshman Spencer Haldeman was named to the MVC All-Freshman team. He was third on the team with 48 3-pointers and fifth in scoring average with 7.5 points per game.
Haldeman had 10 double-figure scoring games and posted a season-best 18 points in a loss against Wyoming in December.
