BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Texas A&M junior Tyler Davis was honored Monday as the Co-SEC Player of the Week after helping the Aggies return to the win column by producing back-to-back double-doubles in wins over Ole Miss and Missouri.
Â
Davis averaged 15.5 points and 13.0 rebounds in the pair of Aggie victories while compiling four assists with three blocks. Last Tuesday against the Rebels, Davis made 8-of-14 shot attempts to record 20 points and reach the 20-point mark for the 10th time in his career. Returning to the court Saturday against Missouri, Davis posted his 13th career (seventh this season) double-double, scoring 11 points and posting a game-high 14 rebounds which moved him into sole possession of 16th on Texas A&M's career rebound list, passing Carroll Broussard (596, 1959-62). Davis (603) stands out as just the 16th player in Texas A&M history to record 600 career rebounds.
Â
The accolade is the second career SEC Player of the Week honor for Davis as well as the third weekly recognition for Texas A&M this season after Admon Gilder was named SEC Player of the Week on Nov. 13 and Savion Flagg was selected as SEC Freshman of the Week on Dec. 26.
Â
Davis shared this weeks honor with Florida's Jalen Hudson.
Â
The Aggies are back in action Tuesday night when they face LSU inside the Maravich Center in Baton Rouge, La., at 8 p.m. The game will be televised by ESPNU.
