NAPERVILLE, Ill. - Carroll men's basketball standouts Michael McNabb and Lamar Smith were both named to the All-College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Second Team for the 2025-26 season, as announced by the conference office Monday. 

McNabb, a sophomore from Grafton, WI, earned All-CCIW recognition after putting together one of the most productive scoring seasons in the league. The senior guard led Carroll and ranked among the conference leaders by averaging 20.9 points per game, 4.1 rebounds per game, and 1.6 assists per game while starting all 25 contests for the Pioneers. He shot 51.2 percent from the field, 32.0 percent from three-point range, and 80.4 percent from the free-throw line, while logging 31.4 minutes per game. McNabb scored in double figures in every game this season and finished the year with 522 total points, including multiple 25-plus-point performances.

Smith, a senior from Milwaukee, WI, also garnered All-CCIW Second Team honors following a consistent and efficient season in the frontcourt. The senior forward averaged 16.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game while starting all 25 games for Carroll.
