Marshall men’s basketball player C.J. Burks was named the Conference USA freshman of the week, the league announced Monday.
Burks, a redshirt freshman out of Martinsburg, averaged 16.5 points, four rebounds and three steals as the Herd snapped its six-game losing streak with back-to-back home wins last week. The guard came off the bench and played a career-high 39 minutes while recording five rebounds and three steals against Eastern Illinois, and earned his fourth start against Eastern Kentucky, producing 14 points, four assists and three rebounds.
