Williams was named Second Team All-NEC, while Wisseh was named to the NEC All-Rookie Team. The honorees were announced on the eve of the 2007 NEC Basketball Tournament, which begins on Thursday with quarterfinal play at four campus sites.

Williams capped his celebrated career with all-NEC honors for the third time. A 5-foot-10 guard, Williams ranks sixth in the NEC in scoring at 16.2 ppg and fourth in free throw percentage (.841) and three-pointers (2.6/game). Williams moved up to fourth on the career scoring charts at LIU with 1,710 points and is the all-time leader in three-point field goals with 277. He also ranks third in conference history in three-pointers made and 17th in scoring.
