The 2012 Atlantic 10 Conference men's basketball awards are out, and the St. Louis Billikens are well represented across the board. Brian Conklin made the first-team All-Conference squad, while Kwamain Mitchell earned third-team honors. Conklin and Kyle Cassity made the All-Academic team, while Jordair Jett showed up on the All-Defensive team.
Despite their impressive season and No. 2 seed in the 2012 A-10 Tournament, the Billikens did not pull down any top honors in the conference. Temple's Fran Dunphy won Coach of the Year, Andrew Nicholson of St. Bonaventure earned Player of the Year honors, and C.J. Aiken of St. Joseph's earned the Defensive Player of the Year title.
