OVC/MVC Weekly Honors--Valley Hoops Insider

Scoring Explosions

(St. Louis, MO) – Missouri Valley and Ohio Valley Conference players achieved weekly honors by producing outstanding scoring explosions. Career high scoring performances and key road wins highlighted this week’s games.

Once again, only one player receiving weekly honors played a game on their current team last year.

Players of the Week

Texas Tech transfer KyeRon Lindsay scored a career-high 27 points during Murray State’s road victory over Middle Tennessee. The 6’8 forward came off the bench to spark Murray and to earn this week’s MVC ‘Player of the Week’ honor.

Newcomer Weekly Honors

Missouri State won two games and Vincent Brady II was a major contributor. The IU Indianapolis transfer averaged 18 points during the Bears’ two victories. This week’s ‘Newcomer of the Week’ is averaging twelve points and 4.7 rebounds per game.

Freshmen of the Week

Redshirt freshman Sam Orme has stepped into a significant role at Belmont. The Valley’s ‘Freshman of the Week’ averaged 12.5 points and seven rebounds as the Bruins knocked off Lipscomb and Air Force. Orme is one of four Bruins averaging double figures (11.3) and leads Belmont with eleven three-pointers.
