Georgia Southern junior Louis Graham was named Southern Conference men’s basketball Player of the Week for the week ending Feb. 27. Graham was the team’s leading scorer and top rebounder as the Eagles closed out the regular season with victories at Wofford and against the College of Charleston.

 

Graham recorded his league-leading 13th double-double with 24 points and 12 rebounds in a 68-46 victory at Wofford on Feb. 22. He followed that performance with 19 points and nine boards in Georgia Southern’s 74-65 triumph over the College of Charleston on Feb. 24. He was responsible for nearly one-third of Georgia Southern’s scoring in the two contests.

 

For the week, Graham averaged 21.5 points and 10.5 rebounds while shooting 51.4 percent from the field (18-of-35) and 63.56 percent (7-of-11) from the free throw line.

 

Graham averaged 14.3 points, 10th best in the Southern Conference this season, and 8.4 rebounds, ranking him second in the league, while shooting 52.1 percent from the floor, seventh best in the SoCon in 2006-07.
