PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
MEN’S OFFENSIVE
Bryant Crowder, Texas A&M University-Commerce, SR, Forward, Harlem, New York, Rice HS
Crowder led the Lions to a 2-0 week in Lone Star Conference play. The senior was phenomenal for the Lions
with a pair of back-to-back 20-point games against two teams who entered the week atop the LSC standings
while shooting 64 percent from the floor. Crowder opened the week with 24 points and a 69.2 field goal
percentage, 9-of-13, in the 94-77 triumph of then league-leading Cameron. He also accounted for four blocks
in the win. Crowder followed up with 21 points, shooting 7-of-12 from the floor (58.3 percent) in the Lions 70-
66 win at Midwestern State. The win marked the first Lions victory in Wichita Falls since the 2003-04 season.
It also marked the first time in school history A&M-Commerce has defeated three ranked teams on the road
in the same season. Crowder entered the week shooting 55.8 percent from the free throw line, but raised his
percentage to 58 after shooting 25.5 percent higher than his season mark from the line. He went 13-of-16 (81.3

rebounds (including seven defensive) and three steals in the Lions 70-66 win at No. 11 Midwestern State. The
win over the Mustangs was the first road win for the Lions in the series since the 2003-04 season and the first
time in program history the Lions have knocked off three ranked teams on the road. Adams was a huge reason

a 1-1 week with a heartbreaking, three-overtime loss
to Angelo State 112-111 and a 62-41 win at Texas
A&M-Kingsville to remain one half game ahead in the
league standings...WT is 20-2 on the year and 9-2 in
Lone Star Conference play as the Lady Buffs won 20
or more games in a season for the 26th time since
1980-81 and for the fourth-straight year...The triple
overtime game was the longest for WT since 1980-
81 and the 112-111 score was the first time both
teams have scored in the 100’s since then, too...
It also marked the highest scoring game between
two teams...The loss snapped a string of 25-straight
home wins and 24 home conference game winning
streak dating back to 2012-13 *regular season)...The
Lady Buffs played LSC foe Cameron in a home non-
conference game in the NCAA Tournament in 2015
for the 25th home win against a conference team
(24 regular season)...It also was the longest game for
Angelo State in Rambelle history....Senior Michaela
Neuhaus continued on her tear this year as she
buried a career-high seven triples against ASU and
played 53 minutes which was a career-best...For the
week she drained nine triples and shot 13 of 24 from
the field...Neuhaus led the way with 12 assists for the
week...
