WINONA, Minn. — Double-doubles were a devastating one-two punch for Raheem Anthony (Chicago, Ill.) this season — after all, the senior guard had 12 double-doubles during the Saint Mary's University men's basketball team's 26-game season.
 
And in the post-season, Anthony is once again doubling up.
 
When the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference delivered its post-season awards in late February, Anthony was not only named All-MIAC, but all the conference Offensive Player of the Year.
 
The National Association of Basketball Coaches followed suit last week, naming Anthony First-Team All-District 9 and Second-Team All-American.
 
And when D3hoops.com unveiled its All-Region awards last week, Anthony was at it again — collecting First-Team All-Region 9 and Region 9 Player of the Year honors.
 
But wait, there's more …
 
D3hoops.com had one more set of awards to dole out, giving Anthony one more opportunity to double-up — which is exactly what he did.
 
Already an NABC Second-Team All-American, Anthony became the basketball program's first-ever two-time All-American Saturday afternoon, being named to the D3hoops.com First-Team.
 
The five D3hoops.com All-America teams are chosen by D3hoops.com staff in consultation with All-Region voting results from players nominated for All-Region. This is the 26th annual D3hoops.com 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.
 
Anthony's seven post-season awards — not to mention his seven MIAC and D3hoops.com weekly honors — are a testament to what was a truly outstanding senior season.
 
 Anthony led 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 two players from the MIAC named to one of the five D3hoops.com All-America teams, being joined by Carleton's Jeremy Beckler, who was a Third-Team selection.
 
Middlebury's Alex Sobel, Wheaton's Tyson Cruickshank, Christian Parker of Mount Union, and Mile Mallory of Randolph joined Anthony on the All-America First-Team. Middlebury named the D3hoops.com Player of the Year, while Jalen Overway of Calvin was tabbed Rookie of the Year and North Park's Sean Smith earned Coach of the Year honors.
