Clyburn And Robotham Earn All-Mountain West Honors

Both senior guards recognized by league's media as third team recipients, Clyburn on coaches' third team list along with all-defensive team.

LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - UNLV men's basketball seniors Kris Clyburn and Noah Robotham have both earned All-Mountain West recognition this week as the league and its media announced all-conference awards. The MW's 11 head coaches voted on the league's awards, while the media's were conducted independent of conference oversight.

Both Clyburn and Robotham earned third team honors by the media, while only Clyburn was recognized in the league awards as a third team member as well as all-defensive team.

Clyburn, a 6-foot-6-inch guard from Detroit, Michigan, is in his third year as a Runnin' Rebel. He leads the team in scoring this season with 13.9 ppg and is third in rebounding at 5.3 rpg. He has scored 20 or more points in five games, including a career-high 25 at New Mexico, and has tallied double figures 22 times in 30 games played.

Robotham, a 6-foot-1-inch guard from Las Vegas, Nevada, transferred to UNLV from Akron following the 2016-17 season. After redshirting last season, he is the Mountain West leader in assists (5.1 apg overall, 6.2 apg in conference-only games) and also ranks No. 1 in the league for conference-only games with an assist/turnover ratio of 3.6. He averages 9.5 ppg and has recorded five or more assists on 17 occasions, including a career-high 10 at Boise State.

NEXT FOR THE RUNNIN' REBELS: After tying for fourth place in the Mountain West, UNLV has earned a first-round bye in this week's 2019 Air Force Reserve Mountain West Men's Basketball Championship and will be the No. 5 seed. The Runnin' Rebels will face No. 4 seed San Diego State on Thursday, March 14 at 2:30 p.m. in the quarterfinals at the Thomas & Mack Center.
