Lisicky selected for All-Big Ten Teams

Penn State's Pete Lisicky has been named to both the media's and the coaches All-Big Ten Teams.

Lisicky, a junior guard, was selected as a second team member of the media's team and as a third team member of the coaches team.

Lisicky finished fourth in the Big Ten in scoring this season as he racked up a 16.3 points per game average. He shot 89% from the free throw line, and tied or broke five Penn State career and single-season records this season, including career three-pointers, career three-pointers attempted, season three-pointers attempted, season three pointers made, and consecutive field goals made.

Lisicky ranks 11th on the Penn State all-time scoring leaders list with 1,107.

"It is very gratifying as well as rewarding for Pete and the entire basketball family to see him receive these honors," said Penn State coach Jerry Dunn. "This exemplifies what he's meant to our team as well as how others view his stature within the Big Ten."
