Gross-Bullock named USBWA All-District

INDIANAPOLIS -- Bryant University men's basketball senior Sherif Gross-Bullock was named to the U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) All-District I team, the organization announced on Tuesday.

The USBWA has selected All-District teams since the 1956-57 season, its founding year. For each of the nine geographic districts, ten players are selected as well as a player and coach of the year. Two schools – Houston (Marcus Sasser and coach Kelvin Sampson) and Purdue (Zach Edey and coach Matt Painter) – earned both the Player of the Year and Coach of the Year honors.

Gross-Bullock picks up the honor after leading the America East in scoring with 17.1 ppg. He was named the America East Newcomer of the Year and to the All-America East First Team. Gross-Bullock recorded 11 20-point games, including a career-high 39 at UMBC. His driving floater at Syracuse lifted the Bulldogs past the Orange in November. Gross-Bullock also finished with a pair of double-doubles and averaged over 2.0 threes per game on the season.
