KANSAS CITY, Mo. – UCLA men's basketball junior Tyler Bilodeau has earned NABC All-Pacific District first-team honors, as announced on Tuesday by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).
 
Bilodeau was one of 10 student-athletes to secure first-team honors on the All-Pacific District team. The 6-foot-9 junior forward from Kennewick, Wash., has averaged a team-leading 13.6 points per game this season. Bilodeau has also averaged 4.5 rebounds per game while shooting a team-best 40.2 percent from beyond the 3-point arc.
 
This marks the first time in his career that Bilodeau has secured NABC All-District accolades. He spent his first two seasons at Oregon State before transferring to UCLA in the summer of 2024.
 
Bilodeau was honored as a third-team All-Big Ten selection last week, when the league office unveiled the end-of-season Big Ten awards. He has scored at least 10 points in 23 of UCLA's 32 games this season, including a career-best 26 points in a game against North Carolina at Madison Square Garden on Dec. 21, 2024.
 
Joining Bilodeau as first-team all-district selections are Miles Byrd (San Diego State), Graham Ike (Gonzaga), Bent Leuchten (UC Irvine), Augustas Marciulionis (Saint Mary's), Ryan Nembhard (Gonzaga), Great Osobor (Washington), Maxime Raynaud (Stanford), Aniwaniwa Tait-Jones (UC San Diego) and Malik Thomas (San Francisco). The all-district team also has 10 players as second-team selections.
 
Seeded No. 7 in the upcoming NCAA Tournament, UCLA (22-10) will return to action on Thursday evening against No. 10-seed Utah State (26-7). Game time at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Ky., is set for approximately 6:25 p.m. PT (9:25 p.m. ET, in Kentucky). UCLA's contest against Utah State will be nationally televised on TNT.
