Carter was a unanimous First Team selection.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -  It was announced today (March 12) that Providence junior Devin Carter (Miami, Fla.) was named Associated Press All-BIG EAST First Team.  It marks the second unanimous all league selection for Carter as he was named All-BIG EAST First Team on March 10.

Carter, who was named BIG EAST Player of the Week twice this season, became the eighth Friar all-time to lead the league in scoring (21.4 ppg) and the first Friar since Ben Bentil (22.9 ppg) accomplished the feat in 2015-16.  He has had an impressive season for the Friars as he ranks second in the league in scoring in overall action (19.4 ppg) and he ranks third in rebounding (8.6).  Carter is second in the BIG EAST in defensive rebounds (7.6), fourth in three-point field goal percentage (.385), third in minutes (35.2), fourth in three-point field goals made (2.6), fourth in steals (1.7) and 12th in blocked shots (1.0) and assists (3.6).  He has scored 20 or more points 13 times this season (third in the BIG EAST) and he has posted 12 double-doubles (third in the BIG EAST).  Carter has two games with 31 points and 13 rebounds this season -- at St. John's on January 10 and versus DePaul on February 17.  In his final game of the regular season versus UConn on March 9, he scored 24 points, grabbed a career-high 15 rebounds, had four assists, added two steals and made two blocks.

Carter was one of 30 players named to the Naismith Player of the Year Midseason Team.  Carter also was one of 15 players named to the Naismith Defensive Player Of The Year Watchlist on February 7.  He joined Zach Edey (Purdue), Tamin Lipsey (Iowa State) and Kevin McCullar (Kansas) as the only players on the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Watchlist and the Naismith Player of the Year Midseason Team.

The Friars (19-12, 10-10) will return to action on Wednesday in the First Round of the BIG EAST Tournament versus Georgetown (9-22, 2-18) at Madison Square Garden at 6:30 p.m. on FS1.  Fans interested in purchasing tickets to Friar games can visit Friars.com or call 401-865-GO PC.
