Apr 10, 2014 | Men's Basketball
OMAHA, Neb. -- Senior center John Karhoff was one of six men's basketball players selected to the 2013-14 Summit League Academic All-League Team, the conference office announced Thursday. The teams were voted upon by the Faculty Athletic Representatives and Sports Information Directors of the league's eight member institutions, and student-athletes were chosen for the honor based on their academic and athletic performances this season.
Karhoff's inclusion on the team marks his second straight Academic All-Summit Award, as he was also on the 2012-13 team. A native of Omaha and a product of Creighton Prep, Karhoff was a four-year starter at center. He started all 30 games in his senior campaign en route to honorable mention all-league status, averaging 13.1 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists over 26.0 minutes per game. Karhoff had 21 double-figure scoring efforts, including a career-high 28 points against Central Arkansas, and shot .490 from the field and .831 from the free throw line. He finished the regular season at fourth among league players for field goals made (146), fifth in free throw percentage and sixth in points per 40 minutes (20.2).
Karhoff carries a 3.67 grade-point average with a journalism major and physical education minor, and he is a member of the UNO Dean's List.
To be eligible for the Academic All-League team, a student-athlete must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30 (on a 4.0 scale), completed at least one full academic year at the current institution and participated in 50 percent of their team's competitions.
