The Asian University Basketball League today announced the 2026 All-AUBL Team, honouring the five best players of AUBL26.

Shanghai Jiao Tong University guard Chen Tiancan, the AUBL26 Most Valuable Player, and Waseda University guard Shin Matsumoto are joined on the team by NCCU guard Hsu Te Chi, the AUBL26 Defensive Player of the Tournament, SJTU forward Hu Hui and NCCU centre Boubacar Mboup.

Chen Tiancan | 陈天灿

#17 · Shanghai Jiao Tong University · Point Guard · AUBL26 MVP

Tiancan led SJTU to the first championship in program history, averaging 18.8 points, 7.2 assists and 6.8 rebounds in 39.2 of a possible 40 minutes a game. The 175cm guard led the team in nearly every statistical category — points, assists, rebounds, steals and minutes. He was also at the centre of two program firsts. In the quarterfinal, SJTU beat Peking University for the first time behind his 19-of-21 from the line, an AUBL record for free throws made in a game, and a night on which he scored or assisted on 58% of his team's points. In the semifinal they beat Tsinghua for the first time, and Tiancan recorded the league's first triple-double : 12 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. A year ago he averaged 6.5 points and the team finished 8th.

‍Shin Matsumoto | 松本 秦

#12 · Waseda University · Guard

Matsumoto averaged 29.8 points across five games, the highest in AUBL history, and broke the single-game scoring record twice in four games — 36 points against the University of Sydney and 41 against Korea University in the quarterfinal. The sophomore scored 34.2% of his team's total points across the tournament and made 27 of Waseda's 50 3-pointers (54%), shooting 39.1% on 69 attempts, the highest volume of anyone in AUBL26. He also holds the AUBL record for 3-pointers made in a game with eight, set in that opening 36-point night where he went 8/16 from behind the arc. Waseda finished third in their AUBL debut.

‍Hsu Te Chi | 徐得祈

#2 · NCCU · Guard · AUBL26 Defensive Player of the Tournament

Hsu was named Defensive Player of the Tournament as the captain of the best defense at AUBL26. NCCU allowed 70.4 points a game, the fewest of any team in the tournament, while forcing 16 turnovers and taking 9.4 steals a night. As NCCU's primary creator, Hsu spent more time on the floor than any of his teammates, leading the team in assists at 4.8 a game against just 1.4 turnovers, and averaging 11.0 points. His best game came against the eventual champions, 22 points in the group stage against SJTU, alongside a 16 point, 7 assist performance in the semifinal against Waseda.

Hu Hui | 胡汇

#25 · Shanghai Jiao Tong University · Forward

Hu Hui averaged 15.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 35.7 minutes of play on 52.5% shooting, the best percentage on the team, and led SJTU in blocks at 1.4 a game. A year ago at AUBL25 he was coming off the bench, averaging 6.0 points in 15 minutes. The 197cm forward scored 22 points with 13 rebounds in the quarterfinal against Peking University, the first time SJTU had beaten PKU in the program's history, and won the semifinal against Tsinghua with a 3-pointer off the backboard in the closing seconds of overtime. He reached double figures in four of his five games.

Boubacar Mboup | 波波卡

#50 · NCCU · Centre

Mboup averaged 14.8 points and 12.6 rebounds in only 27.9 minutes a game (that's 1 rebound ever 2.2 minutes he was on the floor), including 6.4 offensive rebounds a night — more than most teams managed all together. The 208cm centre recorded a double-double in four of NCCU's five games, including 22 points, 15 rebounds and seven assists in the semifinal against Waseda, and set the all-time record for offensive rebounds in a game with 12 in the final. He also holds the AUBL single-game rebounding record with 19, set at AUBL25, and his seven career double-doubles are the most in league history.
