Senior guard captures award after career-high scoring effort on the road at UTRGV
FRISCO, Texas - For the fifth-consecutive week, Stephen F. Austin senior guard Keon Thompson has been named the Southland Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week. Thompson adds Monday afternoon's honor, his third of the past four weeks, to awards garnered on November 10, December 8, January 26 and February 9.
Thompson averaged 24.5 points in wins over East Texas A&M and UTRGV. He shot 50.0% (17-for-34) from the floor and averaged 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.5 steals per game. Arguably his biggest performance of the season came against the Vaqueros as Thompson delivered a career-high 32 points, behind a career-best 12 made shots, with 25 points coming in the second half as the Jacks snapped UTRGV's eight-game winning streak, while improving their own to 11 games and clinching a double bye in March's SLC Tournament.
