Two Poets were honored as the 2007-08 men's basketball All-SCIAC teams were announced last weekend.  Mike Archuletta '09 was named to the first team and Jeff McLean '09 earned second team honors.

Archuletta led the Poets in scoring this season with 11.8 points per game.  He was in the conference's top fifteen in four categories: field goal percentage (1st), scoring (9th), blocks (13th) and free throw percentage (14th).  He scored a season-high 23 points against California Lutheran University on February 6, and scored in double figures in seven of the Poets' last eight games.

McLean finds himself on the All-SCIAC second team for the second straight season.  He was second on the team in scoring (10.8 ppg) and rebounding (4.8 rpg) this season.  He led the conference in steals per game (1.8) and was in the top fifteen in five other categories: blocks (6th), field goal percentage (7th), offensive rebounds (7th), free throw percentage (13th) and scoring (15th).  He scored in double figures in fifteen games this season, and in each of the team's last eleven games.

The Poets finished 14-11 overall this season and were fifth in the conference at 7-7.
