LAFAYETTE – Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns men's basketball standout Bryce Washington earned his first postseason honor of the 2016-17 season when he was named on Wednesday to the NABC All-District team.

Washington finished as the lone SBC player to average a double-double, scoring 13.5 points per game and a SBC-best 11.2 rebounds.
The New Orleans, La., native collected 369 rebounds during the season for Louisiana – the fifth-most in Ragin' Cajuns history – and he posted the sixth-highest field goal percentage in a single-season in school history.
Washington played and started in all 33 games for the Ragin' Cajuns and led the team in minutes played (35.1/gm) and blocks (0.8). He finished the season ranked in the top 5 nationally in double-doubles (22), rebounds per game, offensive rebounds per game (4.00) and total rebounds (369).
