ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- University of Michigan sophomore center Hunter Dickinson was selected to the first team of the CoSIDA Academic All-District men's basketball teams Thursday (Feb. 17). He was one of three players from the Big Ten to earn a spot on a district list.
With eight total Division I districts, Dickinson was a member of the District 5 first team which includes the States of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
