SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Chattanooga guard Honor Huff has been named the Southern Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week for all contests from Feb. 12-18 after averaging 28.5 points per game last week. The award is selected by the league office.
Chattanooga went 1-1 last week, defeating ETSU, 84-71, on Valentine’s Day, before falling at Furman, 82-65, on Feb. 18.
Against ETSU, Huff finished with a career-high 31 points, including connecting on nine 3-pointers, which ties a school record. The native of Brooklyn, New York, also had three rebounds, two assists, two steals and made both of his free-throw attempts.
In the game with Furman, the sophomore had 26 points, three assists and three steals against the Paladins. Huff was 6-for-14 from the floor in the game and made 11-of-12 shots from the charity stripe.
For the week, Huff averaged 28.5 points, 2.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game, shooting 51.6 percent from the field and 50 percent beyond the arc. Huff’s 57 combined points over two games are the most for a Mocs guard since Malachi Smith in December 2021.
Chattanooga (18-9, 10-4 SoCon) hosts Wofford (15-12, 8-6) on Wednesday, before traveling to The Citadel (10-17, 2-12) on Saturday.
