NEW ORLEANS – After recording a pair of double-doubles, University of South Alabama sophomore Josh Ajayi has been voted the Sun Belt Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week, the league announced Tuesday.
The El Monte, Calif. native averaged 21.0 points and 11.5 rebounds in two wins, and posted back-to-back double-doubles for the first time in his career. He also shot 60.0 percent from the floor, 42.9 percent from 3-point land and 81.8 percent at the free-throw line.
Ajayi is a first-time recipient of the award, and joins junior Rodrick Sikes, who claimed the honor on Jan.
