NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Atlantic 10 Conference officials have named St. Bonaventure junior Demitrius Conger as the league’s Co-Men’s Basketball Player of the Week for games played during the week of Dec. 12-18.
Conger shot 6-of-8 from the field (75 percent) to score 20 points and lead St. Bonaventure to a win over Loyola (Md.), snapping the Greyhounds’ eight-game winning streak. A Brooklyn, N.Y., product, Conger sunk a 3-pointer, and seven free throws while dishing out five assists and pulling down four rebounds in the Bonnies’ only game of the week.
The award is Conger’s first of his career. The forward is St. Bonaventure’s second-leading scorer at 11.9 per game, and the club’s third-leading rebounder at five per outing.
Conger and the Bonnies return to action on Tuesday, Dec. 20, from Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y., against NC State at 7 p.m.
