WKU Herald | March 10, 2020

For the first time in 17 years, a trio of players from the WKU men’s basketball program received all-conference honors, the Conference USA league office announced on Monday.

WKU guards Jared Savage and Taveion Hollingsworth celebrate after Hollingsworth's game-tying 3-pointer to send the game into overtime. Hollingsworth was 4-of-7 from beyond the three-point line, shooting 57.1% as WKU defeated LA Tech 95-91 in Diddle Arena on Feb. 27, 2019.

Junior guard Taveion Hollingsworth was selected to the 2019-20 All-C-USA First Team, while redshirt senior wing Jared Savage and redshirt junior forward Carson Williams were both named to the All-C-USA Third Team after the duo stepped up in the absence of inured sophomore center Charles Bassey.
