MIDDLETOWN, Ohio- The River States Conference is pleased to announce the selections for the 2024 River States Conference Men's Basketball All-Conference Teams.

The first team consists of eleven players, due to a tie in the voting. Another tie kept ten on the second team, with nine players represented on the third team. The teams are selected via a vote of conference head coaches. Individual awards will be announced by the conference office on Thursday.

As a testament to the parity in the River States Conference this season, nine teams earned a first team selection, with IU East and regular season champion St. Mary-of-the-Woods the only schools to earn multiple first team selections. The overall leaders were Alice Lloyd and Rio Grande, who both placed four players among the top 30 in the league.

Five more teams - IU Kokomo, Midway, Shawnee State, St. Mary-of-the-Woods, and WVU Tech all had three All-Conference selections, while IU East and Oakland City had two each. Brescia, IU Columbus, and IU Southeast rounded out the selections with one player each.

All 12 River States Conference schools placed at least one player on the All-Conference teams, with nine of the 12 members earning multiple selections. 

The 2024 River States Conference Tournament begins Wednesday with quarterfinal games played at St. Mary-of-the-Woods, Shawnee State, IU East, and IU Kokomo.
