SAN BRUNO, Calif. – The West Coast Conference is pleased to announce the 2020-21 West Coast Conference Men's Basketball All-Academic Team. The list is highlighted by four student-athletes making repeat all-academic team appearances.
Gonzaga’s
Corey Kispert, an AP First Team All-American and a Academic All-American First Team selection, earned his third and final selection to the all-academic first team. The WCC Player of the Year led Gonzaga to the 2021 NCAA Title game and posted a remarkable record of 126-11 in a Zag uniform – the winningest player in college basketball in the last 25 years.
