INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) announced its All-America Team for Division II Men's Basketball Wednesday and for the second time in as many days, Colorado School of Mines guard Majok Deng was among those recognized for their performances in the 2024-25 season.
 
Deng, who was named an NABC All-American Tuesday, earns Honorable Mention honors from the D2CCA and is the third Oredigger to earn multiple All-America honors in a season, joining Brendan Sullivan in 2021 and Mines Hall of Famer Brett Green in 2012.
 
A two-year graduate transfer at Mines who played four seasons at Division I Pepperdine, Deng helped lead Mines to a 29-5 record on their way to sweeping the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference regular and tournament titles for just the third time in program history before advancing to the title game of the NCAA Division II South Central Regional.
 
This season, he was named RMAC Player of the Year, First Team All-RMAC selection, RMAC Tournament Most Valuable Player, D2 CCA South Central Region Player of the Year and First Team All-District by the NABC. The leading scorer for Mines this season at 14.9 PPG, Deng shot .466/.379/.886 with a career-high 132 rebounds, 29 steals, 20 assists and eight blocks in 23.9 MPG and was the only player to start in all 34 games. 22 times he scored in double digits and went north of 20 nine times, highlighted by his season-best 33 against Adams State on February 1 in which he went 9-14 from the floor, 4-7 from three and 11-11 at the free throw line with five rebounds in 24 minutes. He also went for 22 and 23 in the semifinals and finals of the RMAC Tournament against Black Hills State and Regis and dropped 15 against Dallas Baptist in the South Central regional final last Tuesday. For his career, Deng scored 1,072 points in a Mines uniform and started each of the 67 games he played in, averaging 16.0 points and 3.6 rebounds in 24.3 minutes per night while shooting .453/.409/.860. He pulled in 244 rebounds and registered 46 assists, 43 steals and 12 blocks, recording career marks in rebounding and steals this season.
