Davis Named MAC West Division Player Of The Week
January 24, 2011 | Men's Basketball
MUNCIE, Ind. - - Ball State junior guard Randy Davis (Plymouth, Ind./Plymouth H.S.) has been named the Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday. This is the first MAC weekly honor for Davis this season and the second of his career.
Davis becomes the second BSU men's basketball player to earn the league's weekly honor this season, joining classmate Jarrod Jones (Michigan City, Ind./Michigan City H.S.) who has picked up the award twice.
Davis led the Cardinals to a 2-0 record last week, as BSU picked up league road wins at Eastern Michigan and Toledo. In the two contests, Davis averaged 17.5 points, 6.5 assists and 31 minutes per game.
In last Saturday's win at Toledo, BSU's first at Savage Arena since Jan. 12, 2002, Davis led the Cardinals with a career-high tying 24 points. He was a perfect 14-for-14 from the free throw line, while adding a .571 (4-for-7) effort from the field, including a pair of three pointers. Davis also collected a game-high four steals, handed out a game-best seven assists and came down with four defensive rebounds versus the Rockets.
In last Wednesday's win at Eastern Michigan, Davis tallied 11 points, while dishing out four assists and collecting four defensive rebounds.
On the season, Davis is averaging 10.6 points and 5.5 assists per game. The Ball State men's basketball team returns to action Monday night, when it hosts Morehead State in a 7 p.m. non-conference tilt at Worthen Arena.
