From IUP Sports Information
IUP senior guard Malik Miller added to his proverbial trophy case recently as he earned All-American honors from the Division II Bulletin.
This is the second All-American honor of the postseason for Miller, who was also part of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) team announced last month. Miller is a third team selection by the DII Bulletin.
Miller is one of seven IUP players in the last 11 seasons to earn All-American honors by at least two outlets.
He was also a first team All-Atlantic Region selection by the NABC and the Division II Conference Commissioners Association, and was the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Western Division Athlete of the Year.
Miller finished the year seventh in the conference and 16th in the region with 18.5 points per game. He scored in double-figures 27 times in 30 games played with 14 20-point outings. He posted a career-high 32 points against Seton Hill and had games of 30 points against Gannon, 28 against Slippery Rock and 27 against Clarion.
Miller had two double-doubles from his guard spot and made history back on February 19 with the program’s third ever triple-double. He scored 20 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists against Edinboro. He finished the year averaging 5.0 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
He helped the Crimson Hawks to a 28-2 overall record, PSAC regular season and tournament championships, and the No. 1 seed in the Atlantic Region for the 2020 NCAA Division II Championships.
In his four years with the Crimson Hawks, Miller played in 120 games with 64 starts and ranks 12th in program history with 1,525 points. He ranks in the top-10 at IUP with those 120 games played, 200 3-pointers made, 316 assists and 121 steals.
