Key Players Emerging

(St. Louis, MO) – Key players are emerging as Missouri Valley and Ohio Valley Conference announces their weekly stars. While several Valley teams were competing in MTE action, most of its teams and all the OVC teams were playing typical non-conference games.

It looks like some players are like the cream that is rising to the top.

Players of the Week

Bennett Stirtz sparked Drake to a Charleston Classic championship and was named the tournament’s MVP and Tuesday he was named the MVC’s ‘Player of the Week’. The 6’4 junior averaged 18 points, 7.7 assists and five rebounds at the South Carolina-based MTE.

Newcomer Weekly Stars

Stirtz’s Drake teammate Mitch Mascari averaged 18 points per game in South Carolina and made twelve three pointers during the three-game tournament. He joined Stirtz on the all-tournament team and is the Valley’s ‘Newcomer fo the Week’. Mascari is making .512 of his long distance shots (22 of 43) and is perfect on all 16 of his free throw attempts.

Freshman of the Week Awards

Valparaiso won two games last week and rookie Justus McNair scored 16 points during the Beacons’ win over Eastern Illinois. The Valley’s ‘Freshman of the Week’ converted four three-point attempts against EIU.

Under the Radar Game of the Day (South Dakota State vs. Missouri State) – Tuesday, November 26th--Hoops HD
Hoops HD Daily Rundown – Tuesday, Nov 26th--Hoops HD

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES:

-SOUTH DAKOTA STATE VS MISSOURI STATE (Cayman Islands Classic). Both teams are coming off heartbreaking losses with South Dakota State losing by just 1 to Boise State, and MO State losing in overtime to Boston College. This was nearly the championship game. Both are solid UTR teams and both have limited opportunities at notable wins, so that’s what makes this one today so important.
