Savannah Wilkinson was named to the All-AAC (American Athletic Conference) second team after an impressive year at Southern Methodist University.

The redshirt senior – who had transferred from Florida State – finished the regular season with averages of 14.1 points and 9.4 rebounds per game having amassed 12 double-doubles throughout the campaign.

Wilkinson netted a college career-high of 24 points against Oklahoma and also hauled in a personal best of 17 rebounds against Tulane in February as part of a five-game double-double streak – also doing so in the first five games of the season.

The former Barking Abbey forward netted 10+ points in all but two games in 23 appearances having also picked up an injury late in the campaign.

Wilkinson helped the Mustangs to a top-four finish in the Conference for the first time, though they are the 5-seeds in the post-season tournament against Temple – splitting their two meetings to curtail the regular season.

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.
