LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference today announced the 2026 PSAC Men's Basketball All-Conference Teams. Gannon's
Easton Bazzoli was voted the Western Division Coach of the Year.
Three members of the Gannon men's basketball team were recognized, with
Pace Prosser (Berlin, Pa./Berlin Brothersvalley) earning first team All-PSAC West honors and
Lucas Sekasi (Washington, DC/Jackson-Reed) and
Precious Idiaru (Speyer, Germany/LA Premier Prep) landing spots on the second team.
In addition to Bazzoli, other PSAC West major awards went to Dallis Dillard of Indiana (Pa.) as Athlete of the Year, Bryson Lucas of California (Pa.) as Defensive Player of the Year, and Edinboro's Rowan Carmichael as the Freshman of the Year.
After leading Gannon to a 27-7 finish in his first season Bazzoli has guided the Golden Knights to another stellar campaign in 2025-26. The Golden Knights reached 27 wins for the second straight year with Wednesday's 104-73 win over East Stroudsburg.
The Golden Knights improved to 27-2 overall while extending the team's winning streak to 14 games.
Gannon ran away with the Western Division regular season championship for the third straight year with a 19-1 record. Bazzoli recently became the fastest coach to reach 50 victories at Gannon, needing 59 games to reach the milestone.
The 27 wins are tied for the fourth-highest season total while matching last year's victory total. Gannon will look for win number 28 on Saturday when the Golden Knights host Indiana (Pa.) in the PSAC semifinals.
Part of Bazzoli's formula for success is the use of his entire roster, but one player has stood out this year. Prosser is now a two-time All-PSAC West honoree after earning second team recognition a year ago. The 6-foot-2 sophomore enters Saturday's semifinals just four points away from 1,000 points for his career.
Prosser will become the 27th Golden Knight to reach 1,000 career points and just the fourth to accomplish the fete in two years. He will become the first Gannon player since Adam Blazek in 2013-14 to score 1,000 points.
Prosser stuffs the stat box on a nightly basis. He averages a team-high 17.6 ppg., good for sixth in the PSAC. He adds a team-leading 5.3 rpg. and also leads the Golden Knights in assists (136) and steals (65). He ranks third in the PSAC in assists per game (4.7) and second in assist/turnover ratio (+2.7), committing just 50 turnovers. Prosser is also second in the PSAC in steals per game (2.2). He has made a team-high 59-of-190 3-pointers along with shooting 89.1 percent from the free throw line (98-of-110). That is the top figure in the PSAC.
Sekasi provides the Golden Knights with instant offense off the bench and like Prosser is a multi-talented performer. A 6-foot-6 sophomore point guard, he averages 11.6 ppg. and 5.1 rpg., both third on the team. He is just behind Prosser in assists with 135 assists and 54 steals. Like Prosser he is among the PSAC leaders in assists and assist/turnover ratio, standing fourth in both categories. In addition, Sekasi is second on the team in offensive rebounds (54).
At 6-foot-10 Idiaru provides the Golden Knights with an inside presence but is also adept at stepping outside the 3-point arc. A redshirt junior who played a year ago at Longwood and before that the University of Missouri Kansas City, Idiaru joined the starting lineup midway through the season and has started 14 games. He averages 11.3 ppg. and 4.1 rpg. despite playing under 19 minutes per contest. He has made 34-of-117 3-pointers. Since joining the starting lineup he has posted averages of 13.7 ppg. and 4.5 rpg.
