AMES, Iowa ? Iowa State sophomore Craig Brackins was named to the NABC first-team all-District 8 team, announced today by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. The NABC realigned its districts for the 2008-09 season. District 8 consists of all 12 teams in the Big 12.
A native of Palmdale, Calif., Brackins ranks second in the Big 12 in scoring (20.0) and fourth in the league in rebounding (9.2). Brackins, who ranks third in the Big 12 in double-doubles with 13, has scored 20 points or more in 10 of 15 Big 12 games this season.
Brackins' outstanding season ranks among the best in Cyclone history. He ranks in ISU's single season top-20 in four different categories: field goals (12th-230), points (15th-601), rebounds (17th-277) and double-doubles (12th-13). He is just the 11th player in school history to score 600 or more points in a season.
The Cyclone big man is one of three players in the country to rank in the top-35 nationally in both scoring (26th- 20.0) and rebounding (31st- 9.2). Oklahoma's Blake Griffin and Notre Dame's Luke Harangody are the others.
