Sudbury Native Earns All-NESCAC Basketball Honor

Thanks to the efforts of senior co-captain Scott Anderson (Sudbury, Mass.), the Tufts University men's basketball team won more NESCAC games during the 2012-13 season than any Jumbo squad since 2004-05.

And because of his efforts, Anderson was recently included among the All-Conference awards.

Anderson earned NESCAC All-Conference second team accolades for the second straight season.

With 15.6 points per game in conference play, Anderson currently ranks eighth in the league this season. He finished with a 12.8 overall scoring mark, the best of his career. An outstanding 75 for 85 at the free throw line (.882), including 37 for 40 (.925) in league games, Anderson is second in NESCAC. He poured in a career-high and team season-high 35 points at Amherst on February 2. In addition to his scoring, Anderson averaged 5.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.

Tufts finished 17-9 for its most overall victories since the 2005-06 season. After going 7-3 in NESCAC and earning the fourth seed for the conference championship, head coach Bob Sheldon's team advanced to the NESCAC semi-finals for the first time since 2005-06.
