Owls' Almond Shares C-USA Weekly Honor
MORRIS ALMOND, RICE Senior, Guard, Powder Springs, Ga.
Almond led Rice to a pair of C-USA wins by averaging 32 points. He made 56 percent (22-of-39) of his shots from the field, including 67 percent (8-of-12) from 3-point range, and 92 percent from the free throw line (12-13). Against SMU on Saturday, Almond scored 10 of Rice's final 12 points including two 3-pointers in the final two minutes. He scored 35 against Southern Miss earlier in the week, marking the seventh time this season that he has surpassed the 30-point mark. Almond now has scored 639 points on the season which ties Michael Harris (2005) for second place for most points in a season at Rice. This is his second C-USA Player of the Week honor this season and fifth of his career.
JOSH PEPPERS, UCF Senior, Forward, Memphis, Tenn.
Peppers averaged 19.0 points as the Golden Knights posted two league victories this week. The senior forward shot 71.4 percent (15-of-21) from the floor and 60 percent (6-of-10) from 3-point range. At East Carolina, Peppers scored a game-high 24 points on the strength of a 9-of-10 performance from the field. His .900 field goal percentage is the best in C-USA this season and ties for fifth all-time. In UCF's home victory over Marshall, Peppers totaled 14 points, five boards and a pair of blocks in 24 minutes of action. This is the first C-USA Player of the Week honor for Peppers and he becomes the first UCF men’s basketball player to be recognized.
