LOGAN, Utah - Despite losing in the semifinals of the 2008 Western Athletic Conference Tournament, Utah State's Jaycee Carroll was named to the all-tournament team for the second straight year as the Aggies lost to eventual tournament champion Boise State, 88-78, Friday night.

Overall, it is the third time in his career Carroll has received all-tournament honors as he was also named to the all-tournament team last year and was named the most valuable player of the Big West Tournament in 2005.

Boise State's Reggie Larry was named the most valuable player of the 2008 WAC Tournament, while teammates Matt Nelson and Matt Bauscher were named to the all-tournament team along with New Mexico State's Justin Hawkins.

In two games during the WAC Tournament, Carroll averaged 22.0 points and 4.0 rebounds and shot 54.8 percent from the field (17-31) and 55.6 percent from three-point range (10-18). Carroll had 24 points in an 85-65 quarterfinal win against San Jose State, before scoring 20 points against Boise State.

At the WAC Tournament, Carroll also became just the 58th player in the history of the NCAA to score 2,500 points at the Division I level as he now has 2,507 career points. Carroll also ranks third in NCAA history in three-point shooting at 46.8 percent (367-785) and is 12th all-time in three-pointers made with 367.

Carroll continues to lead the nation in three-point shooting this year at 50.7 percent. He is also third in the country in free throw shooting at 92.3 percent and 12th in scoring with 22.6 points per game.
