BOSTON – On the heels of a career weekend, Little Rock senior guard Ben Coupet Jr. has been named the Lou Henson National Mid-Major Player of the Week, announced this afternoon by College Insider. The accolade for Coupet comes hours after he was tabbed the Sun Belt Conference's Player of the Week for the first time in his career.
Coupet becomes the first Trojan in program history to be named the Lou Henson Mid-Major National Player of the Week. He is the first Little Rock player to garner national weekly honors since 2015 when Josh Hagins was named the College Sports Madness National Mid-Major Player of the Week.
