Texas A&M's Acie Law IV, Joseph Jones and Antanas Kavaliauskas have been named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District 9 Team.
Law was selected to the first first team while Jones and Kavaliauskas were second-team picks. District 9 encompasses Division I schools in Texas and Arkansas.
