CORPUS CHRISTI – Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's basketball player Myron Dempsey has been named the GoIslanders.com Student-Athlete of the Week, presented by Pepsi. Dempsey earned the award following his performance last week.
Dempsey had a stellar week for the Islanders, averaging over a double-double with 15.0 points and 11.5 boards on the week. In the Islanders' clutch OT win over Utah State, the junior went 7-for-10, scoring 16 points, and grabbed 15 rebounds while playing 40 minutes. He followed that up with 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the floor and added eight rebounds against No. 25 Texas A&M.
For the week, he averaged an impressive 5.5 offensive rebounds per game, adding to his league-leading pace on the offensive glass. He also had four steals, two blocks and three assists over the two contests.
