NORFOLK, Va. – For the first time in the 2010-11 season, the Wildcats of Bethune-Cookman basketball pick up honors from the conference, Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference officials (MEAC) announced Monday, with the naming of Alexander Starling as the MEAC Player of the Week.
Starling finished with a combined 25 points and 19 rebounds in the Wildcats two non-conference games last week against Baylor and Akron. The senior forward from Miami was one rebound shy of a double-double with 19 points and nine rebounds in the overtime loss to Akron. Overall, Starling shot 53-percent from the field (9-of-17), 50-percent from long range (1-of-2) and 75-percent (6-of-8) from the charity stripe, while averaging 36.5 minutes of play this week.
The Wildcats have earned their short holiday break with a rigorous travel schedule, returning to the court on December 30th against Jacksonville. The road game is set to tip-off at 7:30 p.m.
