Well, apparently a 30 point game not enough to even get named co-freshman of the week. Guess they figured it needed to go to our co-cellar dweller in the standings - again! :

Maybe because their teams won.

Thought Uchebo would finally get recognized but we do seem to be locking down freshman of the week on a regular basis (with the glaring exception of Scott being snubbed last week) as Davis is recognized again!

And boo to the media panel for not recognizing Joseph Uchebo as at least co-player of the week for setting the single season conference rebound record. After all, Evans earned his 9th frosh of the week honor in part - per the C-USA media release - for “set(ting) the freshman scoring record against C-USA opponents”! :
