PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- University of Memphis senior Raynere Thornton was named to the American Athletic Conference's Weekly Honor Roll Monday for his play in the team's recent league games against Temple and UCF.
Thornton scored a season-high 14 points in the UofM's loss at Temple Thursday and followed with a double-double -- his second of the season -- in Sunday's 77-57 victory over the league's preseason favorite, UCF.
Thornton nearly averaged a double-double in a 1-1 week. Had 11 points and 11 rebounds against the Knights and, in addition to his 14 points at Temple, he added eight boards at the Owls.
