Seniors Justin Johnson and Darius Thompson have been named to a Conference USA All-Conference team, while freshman Taveion Hollingsworth made the All-Freshman team, the league announced Monday. 

Johnson made the All-Conference First Team, while Thompson earned Second Team honors. It’s the first time since the 2014-15 season that WKU has had multiple players make the All-Conference teams. 

Johnson averaged 14.8 points per game, a team-high, and 9.4 rebounds per game, which led the conference. He’s just 12 rebounds away from joining the 1,000-point, 1,000-rebound club.
