James Kelly, whose dominating play has helped Marshall to a 3-0 start in Conference USA play, has been named the league’s player of the week for the second time this season.
The award was announced Monday. Jon Davis of Charlotte was named the freshman of the week.
The 6-foot-8 native of Ann Arbor, Michigan, scored 51 points and hauled down 30 rebounds in Marshall’s two home victories last week, 90-67 over Florida Atlantic and 99-81 over Florida International.
He was 20 of 32 from the floor and hit all nine free throws.
His performance helped the Herd hit the 90-point barrier in three consecutive league games for the first time since January 1995 in the Southern Conference under Billy Donovan.
