Gaffaney makes list of Division III’s best
CLAREMONT, Calif. - Just days after being named All-West Region, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps men's basketball player Tyler Gaffaney (CGU) has been selected to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Division III All-America Second Team. He also was selected to the NABC West Region All-District First Team. Then on March 23, D3hoops.com selected Gaffaney to its All-America team as well as a second-teamer.
He is the first All-American for the Stags since 2012 when Chris Blees made the third team.
Gaffaney is one of four West Region players to be selected as an All-American for 2014-15.
In 2014-15, Gaffaney led the Stags to a 22-7 record (CMS' most wins since 2012) along with the conference regular season and postseason tournament titles. CMS then advanced into the Round of 32 of the NCAA Division III Championships, before being eliminated from postseason play by East Texas Baptist earlier this month.
He led the conference in scoring at 22.5 point per game, which also ranked 10th nationally. He also ranked in the top-10 in the SCIAC in rebounding (7th), field goal percentage (3rd), three-point field goal percentage (2nd) and assists (2nd).
