Five TCU men’s basketball players earned Academic All-Big 12 Conference honors Thursday.

Seniors Vladimir Brodziansky, Dalton Dry, Clayton Crawford and Austin Sottile received first-team honors and senior forward Ahmed Hamdy earned a spot on the second team.

In the Frogs’ sixth season in the Big 12, these five honorees made a new record for the team. TCU also had the most honorees in the Big 12 this season. Kansas State, Texas, Texas Tech and West Virginia each had four selections.

Brodziansky, a psychology major from Prievidza, Slovakia, leads the team in scoring with 15.5 points per game while shooting 57.4 percent from the field. This is the second season in a row that the Slovakian has earned academic all-conference honors. The preseason All-Big 12 Conference honoree is also a finalist for the Kareem-Abdul Jabbar Center of the Year and the Senior CLASS Award.
