Diggins Earns All-Atlantic 10 Honors After Stellar Senior Season
March 11, 2025 | Men's Basketball
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Following a career best 2024-25 campaign, senior Rahsool Diggins has earned All-Atlantic 10 Third Team selection, the conference announced Tuesday. The selection marks his second career A-10 end of year honor and first selection to an All-Conference team.Â
Â
Diggins earns the end of year honor after a season which saw the senior guard set multiple program records en route to eclipsing 1,000 career points. The Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native received a trio of National Player of The Week honors in addition to a pair of conference weekly awards. Diggins finished the regular season averaging 20.6 points on 39.1% shooting from the field over 18 A-10 games. The Senior led the A-10 in points per game during conference play.Â
Â
The Minuteman veteran higlighted the season with a program record 46 points in Massachusetts' triple OT win at Fordham. The senior shot 14-of-29 from the field and 8-of-13 from three-point range. The performance marked the most points by a visiting player at Rose Hill Gymnasium, surpassing all-time UMass great Julius Erving's 37-point performance on January 21, 1970. The performance tied for the most points ever scored at the facility, tying Kenny Charles just one day shy of Rose Hill Gym's 100 anniversary mark.Â
Â
With the conclusion of the 2024-25 regular-season, the Massachusetts men's basketball team is officially set as the No. 11 seed in the Atlantic 10 Championship which will run Wednesday, March 12 through Sunday, March 16 at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C.  Â
Â
The Minutemen will face the no. 14 seeded La Salle Explorers on Wednesday, March 12 at 4:30 p.m. The winner would advance to play no. 6 seeded Saint Joseph's on Thursday, March 13 at 7:30 p.m. All first and second round matchups will be televised USA Network with all UMass games also available over the radio on WEEI and the Varsity App.  Â
