COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – The Mountain West Conference has announced its 2014-15 All-MW teams, and New Mexico’s Hugh Greenwood has been named to the All-MW Third Team. It’s the third consecutive season the Lobo guard has received all-conference honors after earning All-MW honorable mention as a sophomore and a junior.
Greenwood is UNM’s leader in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals in conference play. He is amid the best statistical season of his career at 11.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game while leading the conference in made three-point field goals per game.
He is currently in the top ten in program history in career minutes played, assists and made three-point field goals. The Tasmanian is also just ten points shy of becoming the 33rd Lobo to join the 1,000 Point Club and 17th to record 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in a career. His start in Saturday’s Senior Night win versus Wyoming was his 65th MW game played, which tied him for the conference’s all-time record.
While the senior’s fingerprints are all over the Lobo record book, his impact on the community has been as big as any student-athlete in New Mexico history. His breast cancer awareness initiatives have made national headlines, and his Pink Pack charity has raised over $52,000 for the UNM Cancer Center.
Greenwood and his Lobo teammates enter the 2015 MW Tournament as the three-time defending tournament champions. New Mexico will face Air Force in the first game of this year’s conference tournament on Wednesday, March 11 at 1 p.m. (MST) in the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
