SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Samford forward Jermaine Marshall has been named the Southern Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week for all contests from Jan. 16-22 after posting double-doubles in a pair of Bulldog wins on the week. The award is selected by the league office.
 
Marshall notched his first double-double of the week with 17 points and 12 rebounds in 30 minutes of action in a 69-59 win at ETSU on Wednesday. The junior from Brighton, Alabama, added a steal on the evening and went 6-for-13 from the floor (.462), including a 3-for-5 effort (.600) from 3-point range. He was 2-for-3 from the free-throw line (.667).
 
Marshall picked up his second double-double of the week and fourth of the season in Saturday’s 74-65 win over Western Carolina, scoring 14 points and again bringing down 12 rebounds. Marshall was 4-for-9 from the floor (.444), hitting half of his four 3-point attempts, and was 4-for-4 from the free-throw line. He added two steals, a block and an assist.
 
For the week, Marshall averaged 15.5 points and 12.0 rebounds per game. He shot 45.5 percent from the floor (10-for-22) and 55.6 percent from beyond the arc (5-for-9). He was 6-for-7 from the free-throw line (.857).
 
Samford’s two wins on the week moved its current winning streak to eight games as it remained undefeated in SoCon play. The Bulldogs (14-7, 8-0 SoCon) visit preseason SoCon favorite Furman (15-6, 6-2) on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET before heading to Wofford on Saturday for a 2 p.m. ET tip.
