UNC Asheville collected the most awards in men’s basketball as the Big South Conference gave out postseason honors on March 3.

Winning BSC coach of the year was the Bulldogs’ Eddie Biedenbach, while junior center Kenny George was named the league’s defensive player of the year.

In addition, three UNCA players were named all-conference, including senior guard Bryant Smithson, a first-team selection; and senior guard K.J. Gardland and George on the second team.

The Bulldogs, who matched their best regular-season record (21-8) in the program’s 44-year history, earned a share of the BSC’s regular-season championship with a 10-4 mark and claimed the top seed in league’s postseason tournament last week.
