Robinson Earns All-MAAC First Team Honours

By Sam Neter on March 2, 2011

Team GB guard Justin Robinson has been named to the All-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference First Team, recognising what has been an impressive season for the Londoner.

Robinson is fourth in the MAAC in scoring (15.3), sixth in assists (3.9), first in free throw percentage (.902), first in three-point field goals made (81), third in three-point field goal percentage (.438) and fifth in assist-turnover ratio (1.5). The 6’2″ guard is also amongst the nation’s leaders in two statistical categories; 10th in in free throw shooting and 16th in three-point field goal percentage.

Speaking exclusively to Hoopsfix, Robinson said:

“I am very thankful to be selected and voted in by the coaches around the MAAC, it means alot to me.”

And with the postseason fast approaching, Justin is feeling good about Rider’s chances to go to the Big Dance:

“I think Rider has a great chance to go to the NCAA tourney, we have a experienced team and think we have what it takes to win our conference tournament. I’m looking forward to it.”

Rider have finished the season 22-9 overall (13-5 MAAC) and are the third seed taking on sixth seed Canisius (15-14, 9-9 MAAC) on Saturday at 10 pm in the quarterfinals. Rider won by one point at Canisius and lost by two points when hosting Canisius this year.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
