BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Texas A&M's Julius Marble was named the Southeastern Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week on Monday for his strong play in victories over Florida and LSU last week.

His dominance in the paint helped the Aggies win for the first time in Gainesville with a 66-63 win over Florida and snap a 10-game losing skid to LSU with a convincing 69-56 victory over the Tigers.

Marble connected on 57.7 percent of his shots as he posted a season-high 17 points against both the Gators and Tigers. He narrowly missed his first career double-double with nine rebounds against LSU and had 15 boards in the two games.
