2015-16 all-CCAC Men's Basketball Team

After leading a late-season surge to help St. Ambrose qualify for the CCAC Tournament in its first season in the league, senior center Michael Knoll received all-conference honorable mention as the league announced its post-season awards today.

Knoll averaged a team-leading 12.9 points per game this season, but with the Bees fighting for their playoff lives, he averaged 17.6 points to help SAU win four of its last five conference games.

In the regular-season finale, with the Bees needing a win, Knoll poured in 21 points, including the game-winning basket with 1.3 seconds left to lead St. Ambrose to an 85-83 win over Judson. The Melbourne, Australia, native also pulled down 11 rebounds in the victory that ultimately secured the conference's final tournament bid.

That contest was one of three double-doubles on the year for Knoll, who scored in double figures 17 times. He topped 20 points eight times and netted a career-best 30 points in a conference game at Cardinal Stritch on Dec. 2.

Along with the nearly 13 points, Knoll averaged 6.6 rebounds per game. He shot 51.3 percent from the field and knocked down two of his three 3-point attempts on the season.

Knoll finished his four-year SAU career with 870 points and 507 rebounds.

St. Ambrose finished 11-19 overall and 9-11 in the CCAC. The season came to an end with a loss at No. 1 St. Francis in the CCAC Tournament quarterfinals.
