“Vaughn and N’Gai have dedicated themselves each year to improving and have had their best seasons as seniors,” WSU head coach Billy Donlon said. “They have embraced this University and helped elevate the program to a new level.”

The all-league teams and special awards are voted on by the head coaches, three media from each school and the sports information directors. Only the head coaches vote for the All-Defensive Team and the Sixth-Man Award.
