IRVING, Texas — For a third time this season, Jaylen Lawal was named the American Conference Freshman of the Week. The league also announced Miles Barnstable as earning conference honorable mention.
Lawal had a huge performance in Tulsa's win at Rice. The freshman scored 17 points, with 13 coming in the opening half of play. Lawal also had 3 steals on the defensive end. This season the Plano, Texas native played his best against the Owls, averaging 21.0 points in two games. The freshman also has two points in just eight minutes in the team's win over Memphis.
Barnstable led the Tulsa offense last week, averaging 19.0 points as the Golden Hurricane earned a pair of victories. The senior opened the week with a 17-point performance in the team's 83-66 win over Memphis. Barnstable was 4-for-8 from the field, hitting a pair of threes, and going a perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line while also grabbing 5 rebounds. He followed that performance with 21 points at Rice. He also added 3 three-pointers and 8 free throws in the fourth win in a row for the Golden Hurricane.
The Golden Hurricane return home next week for a pair of games in the Reynolds Center. They'll start the week on Wednesday against North Texas before Wichita State comes to town on Sunday.
