Jordan Spencer Named NCIS Freshman of the Year

By Bradley Gains on February 26, 2015

Former GB U20 international Jordan Spencer has been named as the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Freshman of the Year after an impressive campaign with Augustana College.

The 20-year-old averaged 12.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.4 assists in 20 conference games for the Vikings, which also earned him a spot on the NCIS All-Second Team.

Spencer scored a career-high 20 points last week at Upper Iowa, having dished out a career-best 10 assists last month in his first double-double display against Minnesota State. He finished the conference play with shooting percentages of 47 from 3-point range and 82 from the free throw line.

The 6’2″ guard represented the GB under-20’s at consecutive European Championships, averaging 6.4 points per game last summer, having also played for England at youth international level.

Augustana are the No.1 seeds in the NSIC Sanford/Health Tournament and won their opening round game with Spencer contributing 13 points and 5 assists.

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.
