Cougars' McKiver Named C-USA Player of the Week

ROBERT McKIVER, HOUSTON Junior, Guard, New Haven, Conn.

Robert "Fluff" McKiver made his Cougar debut with a 33-point performance in an 102-99 overtime road win at Rhode Island. His output set the UH school record for most points in a debut and he became the first player since 1976-77 season to open a season with at least 30 points. He followed that up with 25 points, five rebounds and five assists in UH’s home opener on Saturday - an 89-80 victory over Monmouth.

For the week, McKiver averaged 29.0 points (first in C-USA), 5.5 assists and 3.5 steals to win his first Player of the Week honor.

The Cougars (2-0) host Grambling State Wednesday, November 22, at Hofheinz Pavilion. Tip-off is set for 7:05 pm.
