Givens Earns Fourth Player of the Week Honor

Fayetteville, N.C. - The USA South Athletic Conference has released its weekly honors for January 14th, and North Carolina Wesleyan senior Brandon Givens has earned his fourth Player of the Week honor in men's basketball.

A native of Ruffin, S.C., Givens led the Bishops to a 2-0 record last week versus USA South competition by averaging a double-double of 36.5 points and 11.0 rebounds to go along with 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals per contest.

In Wednesday's 112-109 double-overtime win over 13th-ranked Christopher Newport, Givens set a new NCWC and USA South record for points in a single game with 50. He also added 11 rebounds and four assists in the victory. Then in a 79-75 win over LaGrange on Sunday, Givens tallied a double-double of 23 points and 11 rebounds, while adding four steals, three assists and one block.

Congratulations Brandon!
