INDIANAPOLIS – Detroit Mercy’s Antoine Davis posted back-to-back 30-point performances and shot over 50 percent from the floor and 55 percent from distance to earn Nike® #HLMBB Player of the Week, while IUPUI’s DJ Jackson was named the Nike® #HLMBB Freshman of the Week after averaging 15.5 points and 6.5 rebounds in a 1-1 for the Jags as the Horizon League announced its men’s basketball weekly honors on Monday.
#HLMBB Player of the Week
Antoine Davis | Detroit Mercy | Redshirt Senior | Guard | Birmingham, Ala.
The nation's leading scorer at 26.4 points per game earned his League-leading fourth Player of the Week honor of the season tallying 33.5 points, 3.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals as the Titans swept their home stand. The redshirt senior shot 51.2 percent from the field (22-of-43), 56.3 percent (9-of-16) from 3-point range and 93.3 percent (14-of-15) at the foul line. He started the weekend with 35 points on 10-of-19 shooting from the floor and 12-of-13 shooting from the free-throw line, three assists, two rebounds and two steals in an 85-67 win against Cleveland State. Davis then posted 32 points on 6-of-10 shooting from distance with four rebounds, three assists and two steals against Purdue Fort Wayne. He broke another NCAA with his 136th total game in double figures - all consecutive, which is a record he already owns - and moved his career point total to 3,399, 268 behind Pete Maravich's NCAA record 3,667.
#HLMBB Freshman of the Week
DJ Jackson | IUPUI | Freshman | Guard | Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
Jackson collects his first Freshman of the Week honor and the program’s seventh this season after averaging 15.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game for the Jags who went 1-1 at home last week. He began the week with 15 points and matched his season-high with seven rebounds and a season-best three assists against Milwaukee. Jackson followed that up 16 points on 8-of-12 shooting and six rebounds in the 68-53 win over Green Bay on Saturday. Jackson was second in the HL last week in field-goal percentage as he shot 14-of-21 (66.7 percent) from the floor. He has now scored in double-digits in four of IUPUI’s last five games after failing to do so in his first nine appearances as a Jaguar.
