USBWA Latest to Honor Richardson
March 10, 2015 | Men's Basketball
The United State Basketball Writers Association is the latest organization to honor Tennessee senior Josh Richardson.
The USBWA on Tuesday named Richardson to its 10-man All-District IV Team, which includes the top Division I players from schools in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee.
A native of Edmond, Okla., Richardson was this year's only All-District IV selection from a program in the state of Tennessee.
All-District Teams were based on voting from the USBWA national membership of 900-plus. The USBWA has selected All-District Teams since the 1956-57 season, its founding year.
Richardson is the eighth Vol to be named to the USBWA All-District IV Team. Tennessee has placed at least one player on the team for nine of the last 10 years.
Already this week, Richardson had been named to the SEC Community Service Team, the coaches' All-SEC first team and the SEC All-Defensive Team.
