StatSheet's Southland Player of the Week for February 6th goes to Brandon Davis from Lamar. Nicholls State's Sam McBeath has won StatSheet's Southland Freshman of the Week. And last but certainly not least, Texas-San Antonio's Kannon Burrage has taken StatSheet's Southland 6th Man of the Week.
Davis led the entire Southland in three pointers (4.5 per game). He also put up a strong showing in rebounding (5 per game) and scoring (22 pts per game). The Lamar senior played well in victories versus Southeastern Louisiana and Texas-San Antonio.
Davis led scoring for the Cardinals with 21 points while adding 7 rebounds in a big 83-59 win against Southeastern Louisiana. In the next game he led all scoring with 23 points and added 3 rebounds in an 80-66 victory against Texas-San Antonio.
This is the first StatSheet Southland Player of the Week award for Brandon Davis. However, he has received an honorable mention. The runner-up this week is Lamar senior Anthony Miles. Honorable mention goes to senior Devon Lamb from Lamar. The highest ranking player from McNeese State was Patrick Richard who finished sixth.
