KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Delaware junior guard Nate Darling earned another prestigious award on Monday as he was selected to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District 10 First Team.
Darling becomes the eighth Blue Hen to earn NABC All-District honors and the sixth to earn first team accolades along with Spencer Dunkley (1992-93), Mike Pegues (1998-99), Marc Egerson (2008-09), Devon Saddler (2012-13, 2013-14) and Davon Usher (2013-14).
Darling was joined on the first team by Nathan Knight of William & Mary, Desure Buie of Hofstra, Jordan Roland of Northeastern, and Grant Riller of Charleston. Those five players also comprised the All-CAA First Team announced earlier this month.
Darling averaged 21.0 points per game this season, which ranked third in the CAA, 18th in Division I and sixth in a UD single season. He scored 672 points this year, third most in a UD single season and seven shy of the school record of 679 held by Usher.
Darling, who also was named to the USBWA All-District Team earlier in March, set a Blue Hen record by hitting 107 three-pointers this season, sixth most in the nation. His 3.34 three-pointers per game ranked eighth in the country and his 39.9 three-point percentage ranked 28th.
Darling reached the 20-point mark 17 times on the year, and became the second Blue Hen to post four games of at least 34 points in a season. He led Delaware in scoring in 23 of the 32 games in which he appeared, and scored a career-high 37 points during the win over UTSA on Nov. 10.
