Men's Basketball Choice Hotels NEC Player of the Week


Ken Horton, Central Connecticut
Ossining, NY / Ossining
F
Senior
6-6
198


Central Connecticut’s Ken Horton gave the fans a sight to see last week, averaging 30.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 5.0 steals and 2.5 blocks in a pair of Blue Devil wins to earn the final Choice Hotels/NEC Player of the week award of the 2011-12 season. In a 78-63 win over Mount St. Mary’s on Thursday, the reigning NEC Player of the Year put on one of the best single-game performance in CCSU history, scoring a career-high 39 points and grabbing 13 boards. The scoring output, which pushed the senior forward’s career total over the 1,900-point plateau mark, tied for the second-most points by an NEC player this season, as teammate Kyle Vinales accomplished the feat back in November. He also stuffed the stat sheet with six steals and five assists in addition to shooting 15-for-20 from the field, including 11-for-12 from inside the arc. He then deposited 22 points and reeled in seven boards as CCSU upset second-place Wagner, 78-61. Playing in his final regular-season home game, Horton also contributed five blocks, four steals and three assists while playing all 40 minutes. With his stellar weekend, Horton moved into seventh place on the NEC’s all-time scoring list, boasting 1,941 points in four years under head coach Howie Dickenman. It also kept him in the top-5 in several NEC statistical categories including points per game (2nd; 18.7), rebounds per game (3rd; 8.9) and steals (1st; 2.1).
