For the first time in four seasons, Western Kentucky's men's basketball team features two all-league selections with senior Justin Johnson named to the 2017-18 All-Conference USA First Team and senior Darius Thompson named to the Second Team, as announced Monday by the league office.
This is the first time WKU has earned multiple all-conference selections since T.J. Price (first team) and George Fant (second team) in 2014-15.
A second-team selection as a junior last season, Johnson – a 6-foot-7 product of Hazard – leads WKU in scoring (14.8 points per game) and rebounding (9.4) for the third straight season.
