WINONA, Minn. — Already a household name, and a thorn in the side of countless coaches around the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, Raheem Anthony's (Chicago, Ill.) basketball prowess goes — not to mention his post-season accolades — stretch beyond the MIAC.
 
Named the MIAC's Offensive Player of the Year — not to mention All-MIAC — in late February, Anthony hauled in two more post-season honors Tuesday morning, behind selected First-Team All-Region and the Region 9 Most Outstanding Player by D3hoops.com.
 
Players from the all-region teams are eligible for the D3hoops.com All-America teams. The men's team will be released March 18, at the national championship game, and the women's team will be released at a predetermined time between the national semifinals on March 18 and the title game on April 1.
 
Division III basketball is organized into 10 regions. A region with 40 teams or more has three All-Region teams honored, while a region with fewer than 40 teams has a first and second team. Players were nominated for D3hoops.com regional awards by sports information directors at the various schools, with 798 players nominated nationwide this season. The ballot was then made available to SIDs, who voted for a predetermined number of players in their region. 

Anthony enjoyed a truly memorable senior season, leading the team and the conference in scoring with a 24.6 ppg average — leaving him No. 3 in all of NCAA Division III behind E.J. Day of Lasell (25.8 ppg) and Lyle Tipton of Geneva (24.7 ppg) — while pulling down 238 rebounds (9.2 rpg) and collecting 120 assists. He finished the year shooting 54.5 percent (235-for-431) from the field and 140-for-177 (79.1%) from the free throw line.
 
Anthony scored 20+ points in a game 18 times in 2022-23, including six games of 30 or more points — and a pair of career-high 41-point performances. His 41-point showing against both North Park on Dec. 30 and vs. Concordia on Jan. 21 were the highest single-game individual performances since Will Wright netted 41 against MacMurray on Nov. 22, 2008 — and just five shy of the school-record 46 points posted by Ken Jansen against Macalester during the 1956-57 season.
 
With his field goal at 5:48 of the second half against Finlandia on Jan. 2, Anthony became the 28th player in program history to reach the 1,000-point plateau. Anthony — who is SMU's first 1,000-point scorer since Eli Cave '21 hit the milestone during the 2020-21 season — closed out his career sitting eighth all-time with 1,390 career points.
 
Along with his 18 points in SMU's playoff loss to Hamline on Feb. 21, Anthony also hauled in 12 rebounds for his 12th double-double of the year. The senior collected his first points/assist double-double against Gustavus on Nov. 19, scoring 19 points and adding a career-high 10 assists.
 
Anthony was one of five players from the MIAC named to one of the three D3hoops.com All-Region 9 teams. He was joined on the first team by Carleton's Jeremy Beckler, while Macalester's Caleb Williams and Hamline's Bradley Cimperman were Second-Team selections, and Rya Thissen of Saint John's was a Third-Team pick.
 
This is the 22nd year D3hoops.com has named an All-Region team and this year's All-America team will be the 26th annual All-America selections. The D3hoops.com All-American teams, along with those of the respective coaches' associations, are the only ones recognized in the NCAA record book.
