Louisiana Tech’s Isaiah Crawford was named All-Louisiana Honorable Mention for men’s basketball Thursday in an announcement made by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association (LSWA).
Crawford, who was a Third Team All-Conference USA selection, came back from a second season-ending knee injury to make 32 starts at forward and lead LA Tech in several categories including points per game (13.7), rebounds per game(5.3), and steals per game (1.9).
The Fort Worth, Texas native was highly efficient at all three levels, shooting 49.5 percent from the field, 42.0 percent from beyond the arc, and 72.7 percent from the free throw line.
He posted 22 double-figure scoring games out of the 32 contests he played and started in. Seven of those eclipsed 20 points, including a season-high 25 points scored on the road at North Texas and at Florida Atlantic.
Defensively, Crawford’s 62 total steals tied for the fourth most in Conference USA and tied for the sixth most in a single season in program history.
Crawford, who was also an Honorable Mention All-Louisiana selection in 2021, ended up being the only player in CUSA to rank in the top 15 in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, and blocks during league play.
