IOWA CITY, Iowa — University of Iowa junior Tyler Cook and Iowa State senior Marial Shayok were named Tuesday to the 11-player All-District VI team by the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA).

Cook’s honor marks the fifth time is six seasons that a Hawkeye has garnered all-district recognition (Devyn Marble in 2014; Aaron White in 2015; Jarrod Uthoff and Peter Jok in 2016; Jok in 2017; Cook in 2019).

Cook, who was yesterday named to the All-Big Ten second team by the media and third team by the coaches, ranks third in the league in free throws attempted per game (6.41), sixth in rebounding (8.1), ninth in field goal percentage (.534), and tied for 11th in scoring (15.0). Cook (6-foot-9, 250 pounds) is one of only two Big Ten student-athletes this season to average at least 15 points and eight rebounds per game (Wisconsin’s Ethan Happ). Cook is one of only nine players in program history to total more than 1,200 points and 600 rebounds. The native of St. Louis, Missouri, has posted a team-best six double-doubles this season and is one of 15 players in Iowa history to record at least 15 career double-doubles.

Shayok finished the regular season second among Big 12 players averaging 18.7 points while shooting 49.6 percent from the field, 39.6 percent behind the arc and 87.7 percent from the free-throw line. The Ottawa, Ontario native has scored in double figures in 28 of 30 games this season, scoring a career-high 26 points on three different occasions. Shayok has also earned All-Big 12 First Team honors and is a finalist for the Julius Erving Award.

Joining Cook and Shayok on the 11-player all-district squad are Ty-Shon Alexander (Creighton); Barry Brown (Kansas State); Mike Daum (South Dakota State); Devon Dotson (Kansas); Christian James (Oklahoma); Dedric Lawson (Kansas); Nick McGlynn (Drake); James Palmer, Jr. (Nebraska); Dean Wade (Kansas State).
