UTEP men’s basketball guard Souley Boum was named the Conference USA Men’s Basketball Player of the Week on Monday. He is the first Miner recognized since Daryl Edwards on Feb. 24, 2020.
Boum had the best two-game scoring stretch of his career in helping lead the Miners to a perfect 2-0 record with home wins against Florida Atlantic and Florida International last week.
He put up 60 points on the weekend (28 vs. FAU) and a season-high 32 points (two shy of career high) against FIU on 21-of-34 shooting, including 9 of 18 on 3-point shots.
Boum played all but two minutes of action on the weekend.
