Coach Randy Monroe was named America East Men’s Basketball Coach of the Year, and players Jay Greene, Ray Barbosa and Daryl Proctor were named to the America East Conference’s All-Tournament Team. Greene was named the tournament’s most outstanding player for his continued excellence at the point guard position.
