Roberts Highlights All-Valley Selections; Earns Newcomer of the Year & First-Team Honors

Three Bradley men's basketball student-athletes were honored by the Missouri Valley Conference on Tuesday as the league announced its postseason award winners.

Junior Terry Roberts had an immediate impact on the Braves in his first year on campus and highlighted the program's accolades – becoming the seventh player in school history to collect Valley Newcomer of the Year honors, while also being the first Brave in 11 seasons to be named to the All-MVC First Team.

Sophomore Rienk Mast joined Roberts as an all-conference honoree – earning third-team accolades – while Connor Hickman was named to the MVC All-Freshman Team.
