Three former University of Wyoming basketball players were named to the Mountain West Conference 10th Anniversary basketball teams on Monday.

For the Cowgirls, Hanna Zavecz was named to the women’s team, with Josh Davis and Marcus Bailey named to the men’s team.

The men’s and women’s anniversary teams were selected by a combined panel of media, institutional and conference personnel and an on-line fan poll. In order to be eligible for consideration, candidates must have been a First Team All-Mountain West selection at least once in their careers.

A 6-foot forward from Melbourne, Australia, Zavecz led the Cowgirls several categories including scoring (13.9 points per game), rebounds (6.1 rpg), assists (3.6 aspg), steals (1.6 spg), blocked shots (1.6 bpg) during the 2007-08 season. She shot .408 (561-1375 (.408) from the field, .703 (468-666) from the free throw line and .332 (146-440) from beyond the arc. She also ranked among the Top 15 in the MWC in several categories as she finished second in blocks, fourth in assist/turnover ratio, fifth in assists, seventh in scoring, 11th in steals and 12th in rebounding.

Bailey and Davis led the Cowboys into the second round of the 2002 NCAA Tournament that included an upset of No. 6 Gonzaga.

Bailey, a 6-5 guard/forward, was a two-time All-MWC First Team performer and had his career cut short nine games into the 2002-2003 season with an ACL injury against South Carolina. He finished his career averaging 13.4 points and 3.7 rebounds a game in 101 games.

Davis, a 6-8 forward/center was also a two-time All-MWC First Team performer and one of the top rebounders in the conference in his junior and senior seasons. He finished his career averaging 12.5 points and 8.4 rebounds a game in 118 games.
