MILWAUKEE, Wis. (naccsports.org) --- Three Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) men's basketball student-athletes have been named to the 2026 D3hoops.com All-Region VIII Teams, the online publication announced Monday.
Milwaukee School of Engineering senior guard
Mason Dopirak was named to the first team along with Concordia University Wisconsin senior forward
Logan Landers, while Aurora University junior center
Devon Richardson was named to the third team.
Players were nominated for these awards by the Sports Information Directors at the various schools, and schools and conferences were each contacted multiple times as the season wound down to remind them to make their players eligible. There were 797 players nominated nationwide. The ballot was then made available to a number of SIDs, who voted for a predetermined number of players in their region.
It's the 25th season D3hoops.com has named All-Region teams.
The regional Rookie of the Year award honors the top freshman in each region, while D3hoops.com also names a regional Coach of the Year.
Division III basketball is organized into 10 regions. A region with 40 teams or more has three All-Region teams honored, while a region with fewer than 40 teams has a first and second team. This organization results in approximately 10 additional players being recognized when compared to full seasons in the old eight-region alignment.
Players from these lists are eligible for the D3hoops.com All-America teams. The men's basketball All-America team will be released the week of March 22.
