South Dakota junior Tasos Kamateros was selected to the Academic All-Summit League team announced by the league on Wednesday. This is the first academic all-league honor for Kamateros and comes off the heels of a recent CSC Academic All-District selection.

The Athens, Greece, native averaged career-bests in points, rebounds, three-point percentage, and minutes played in his fourth year with South Dakota. Kamateros scored 12.6 points per game and haled in 6.2 rebounds per game. His rebounding average was fifth-best in the Summit League and he hauled in the fourth-most defensive rebounds in the conference with 149 total. Kamateros shot 44.9 percent from the field and scored in double-figures in 21 games including five 20-plus point performances. In the regular season finale, he put up 24 points to tie his career-high.

This is the second all-league recognition for Kamteros this season after earning All-Summit honorable mention for the second-straight year. He maintains a 3.71 GPA in business administration.

Criteria for the Academic All-League teams include having at least a 3.3 cumulative grade-point average, have completed at least one full academic year at the current institution, and have participated in 50 percent of their team's completed competitions.
