OMAHA, Neb. – UNO junior guard CJ Carter was named Summit League Co-Player of the Week for his performance in the opening weekend of play, the conference office announced Monday. The weekly award was the first of Carter's career.
Carter helped the Mavericks to a 1-1 record last weekend, spurring a 68-66 comeback victory at Northern Illinois on Friday and a near-upset of Iowa in an 83-75 loss on Sunday. Against NIU, Carter tallied 18 points, including the game-tying basket with 3:04 remaining and the go-ahead driving layup with 14 seconds left. His opening night performance included six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one blocked shot while also converting 9-of-11 free throw attempts. At Iowa, Carter scored a game-best 22 points, including four three-pointers, and added four rebounds and three steals. He scored 13 points in the first half as Omaha built a seven-point halftime advantage over its Big Ten opposition.
For the week, Carter averaged 20.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 steals per contest. He shared the honor with IUPUI's Mitch Patton, who recorded a double-double with 26 points and 10 rebounds.
