Adamu, Belo earn All-Conference honours

Jubrile Belo Amin Adamu All Conference Honours

British duo Amin Adamu and Jubrile Belo have both been named to the All-Big Sky Conference Third Team, as voted on by the league’s head coaches.

Adamu earns his first all-league honours of his college career, whilst Belo is a repeat selection to the All-Big Sky Third Team – the duo help the Great Britain Under-20s to Division A promotion in 2017.

Adamu earned his first all-league honours as he led MSU in scoring (14.7 PPG). He finished atop the Big Sky in steals per game (1.63), finished fifth in qualifying field goal percentage (49.1%) and seventh in free throw percentage (80.6%).

The former City of London Academy and Barking Abbey guard scored in double digits in 15 of 19 games played. His breakout performance came on Jan. 9 when he recorded a career-high 36 points on 13 of 23 shooting to pace MSU in a win at Northern Colorado. That scoring effort is among the top 20 single-game outputs in program history.

Belo earned back-to-back Third Team honours after averaging 13.4 points and 5.6 rebounds per contest. He finished the season with a 61.8 field goal percentage and was among the top five in the Big Sky in blocked shots per game (1.05), double-doubles (3), free throws made (90) and attempted (120).

The former Barking Abbey big man claimed Big Sky Player of the Week following a series sweep over Portland State this season. He ended the scheduled by tying a program record going 13 of 13 from the field and set a new career high of 32 points in MSU’s season finale versus Sacramento State.

Montana State is scheduled to next take on Idaho State in the Big Sky Conference tournament quarterfinals. The Bobcats and Bengals will tipoff at Idaho Central Arena at approximately 2 p.m. on Thursday.
