Tolbert was named to both the All-Mountain East Conference First Team and the MEC All-Tournament Team over the past week. The Cincinnati, Ohio native earned his first nod to the All-MEC First Team after finishing top 10 in the conference in points, rebounds and free-throw shooting during the regular season. At the MEC Tournament, Tolbert averaged a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds in two games for the Mountain Lions as they advanced to the MEC Semifinals for the first time since 2019.
