BRISTOL, Tenn. –
Michael Mays of the King University men's basketball team has been named the Tennessee Sports Writers Association (TSWA) men's basketball Player of the Week after a dominating performance against North Greenville.
Mays, a senior from Bristol, Tenn., scored 30 points and pulled a then season-high seven rebounds in the Tornado road win over North Greenville. It was the 13th time this season that he scored in double figures, and was the second time this season that he scored 30+ points.
On the season, Mays is averaging 22.5 points per game, and is the Conference Carolinas leader in free throw percentage, where he is shooting 93.4 percent, which places him sixth in NCAA Division II. His points per game ranks him second in the conference, and eighth in the country.
The Tornado continue their three-game homestand Wednesday night when they host Conference Carolinas opponent Belmont Abbey, with tipoff scheduled for 7:30 p.m. inside the Student Center Complex.
