Corey Allmond Named Men?s Basketball Player of the Week
FRISCO, Texas - Sam Houston State senior guard Corey Allmond has been named the Southland men's basketball player of the week the league office announced Monday.
Allmond, a native of Oxon Hill, Maryland, set the Adolph Rupp, Southland Conference and Sam Houston State record with 11 three-point baskets made in 102-92 loss at No. 4 Kentucky Thursday. His 37 points scored against the Wildcats ranks as the second-highest single-game scoring total by a Bearkat against an NCAA Division I opponent.

Allmond followed his record-setting performance with 11 more points in a loss to the 2009 Horizon League champion Cleveland State.
Honorable mention this week goes to Nicholls junior guard Anatoly Bose, Stephen F. Austin junior forward Eddie Williams, UTSA junior guard Devin Gibson and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi junior forward Justin Reynolds. To receive honorable mention, a player must receive votes from 25 percent of the Southland men's basketball sports information directors.
