FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Fort Wayne's John Konchar was selected to the 2017-18 Lou Henson All-America team, announced Wednesday by CollegeInsider.com. He is on the final watch list for the Lou Henson Award, given to the nation's top Division I mid-major player.
Konchar concluded the 2017-18 campaign ninth in the nation in total steals (81) and 15th in assist/turnover ratio (2.91). He averaged 14.8 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists per contest.
