This just sort of cements what we already knew, but the Big East’s second leading scorer has been named to the first team All Big East. Tre Carroll is just the fifth Xavier player to garner this honor, joining Trevon Blueitt, Semaj Christon, Souley Boum, and current NBA player Naji Marshall. Had Tre not played just four minutes against Seton Hall before being injured, he also would have led the conference in scoring.
This season Tre averaged 18/5.7/2.6 on .508/.354/.709 shooting in 30 games for the Musketeers. Despite handling a massive amount of the scoring load for Xavier, Carroll had a 108.3 efficiency rating and only a 15.4% turnover rate. On the defensive end he managed a 4% block rate and, for the most part, avoided foul trouble while posting the second highest defensive rebounding rate on the team.
Tre scored 30 against UC to win the Crosstown Shootout. He had another 31 against St. John’s, dragged Xavier back into a game against Villanova, had 29 and 9 against Butler, and knocked down five threes against West Virginia. More than all of that, he gave Xavier fans something very exciting to watch in what has been a lost season. He engaged on Twitter, gave interviews, and was infectious fun when not on the court.
That Tre Carroll made first team this season speaks to his determination. He was the piece every team keyed on. He was the guy that Xavier threw the ball to when they needed anything. He played more minutes than he ever has before. He carried the weight of a program that slipped farther down the pecking order than normal. This was an honor well earned.
