MBB | Ford Named All-District by NABC

Jordan Ford added another award to his illustrious junior season earlier this week.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Saint Mary's guard Jordan Ford was named First Team All-District by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) earlier this week in honor of his historic season.

The NABC elects First and Second Team honors for 25 districts with five student-athletes named to each team. Ford was selected to the District IX First Team along with Gonzaga's Rui Hachimura and Brandon Clarke, BYU's Yoeli Childs, and San Diego's Isaiah Pinero.

Ford finished the season with 716 points, third all-time for a single season in program history behind only Jock Landale's 2017-18 campaign (761) and Omar Samhan's 2009-10 season (724). Ford led the conference with 21.3 points per game during the regular season and helped Saint Mary's reach their 10th ever NCAA Tournament and second in three years.

The Folsom, Calif. native was second on the team with 2.5 assists per game and also led the Gaels in steals, minutes played, 3-point field goal percentage, and free throw attempts.

In SMC's second game of the season versus Utah Valley, Ford scored a career-high 35 points. He scored at least 10 or more points in 32 of the team's 34 games this year and had 20 or more 20 times.

Saint Mary's accomplished their 12th straight 20-win season and has made the postseason each year during that span. The team will return nearly the entire roster as Jordan Hunter was the only senior to see the court this season.
