ASADULLAH TABBED PRESEASON ALL-CONFERENCE; BISONS PICKED TO FINISH FIFTH

ATLANTA, Ga. – Lipscomb men's basketball junior center Ahsan Asadullah was selected to the ASUN Preseason All-Conference team, the league office announced on Wednesday.

Asadullah was just one of two unanimous selections on the team, joining Liberty's Darius McGhee, who was also tabbed Preseason Player of the Year.

The Atlanta, Georgia native is a two-time ASUN First Team selection after finishing second in the league in rebounding last season with 217 total boards and an average of 8.0 per game.

He did lead the ASUN with 165 total field goals made and 157 defensive rebounds.

Asadullah also added 14.1 points per game and pulled down a team high five double-doubles, which were 3^rd-most in the conference. He did pace the league in ASUN games with a 62.6 field goal percentage, while his 57.9 percent mark overall was second best.

What sets Asadullah apart from most centers is his passing ability. He finished fourth in the conference…as a center…. Last season with 93 total assists. It was the most by any Division I center in the country last season.

He racked up 16 games last season with double-digit points, and six of those he eclipsed the 20-point mark. He also led the team with six outings of 10+ rebounds.

Asadullah's season highs came with 29 points against Belmont, 13 against Crowley's Ridge and 10 assists against SEMO.

The Bisons were predicted to finish fifth in the preseason poll, voted on by the league's head coaches. In the media poll, however, they were tabbed third with Bellarmine.

Liberty earned the top spot in both polls with nine first-place votes in the coaches and 30 in the media. League newcomer Eastern Kentucky was picked second.

Lipscomb will tip off the season on November 9 at home against Birmingham Southern at 7 p.m.
