Very, very impressive. Congrats, Tony!

I said after he won his first, "The first of many to come."

I didn't realize the many part would start the very next week.

The second of many to come.

KRAM1 · January 16, 2012

Excellent news. Congrats, Tony.

The great thing to me is that UNT has several players, in addition to Tony, on this year's team that could very well see SBC weekly honors befopre this season is over.

If he wins it again next week, can we start calling him the Defending Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week?

Congrats Tony!

We can call him 2-Time Defending Sun Belt Conference Player of the Week and not even think twice about it...

He's been all that was advertised and maybe more...

golfingomez · January 17, 2012

this sucks... i thought Franklin was more deserving...

we need Mitchell to stop winning awards, to keep those NBA scouts away

greenminer · January 17, 2012

I don't recall if the conference has ever awarded POTW to the same person 3 consecutive weeks. I don't know for sure, but I speculate they try to avoid that to "spread the wealth".

Having said that, I don't mean to jinx Tony: may he have 20 more double-doubles this year!

UNT90 · January 17, 2012

It's gonna be hard to win it again with only one conference game this week.

GangGreen · January 17, 2012

Huston Tillotson doesn't count?

CMJ · January 17, 2012

Huston Tillotson doesn't count?

Doesn't count period - hence why the lack of a game thread.

UNT90 · January 17, 2012

Yep, purely an exhibition. TM is gonna have to go for something around 30 and 15 against Denver if he wants it 3 weeks straight

Tony - 30 points, 17 rebounds in one game.

Here's the list of everyone else to get 30+ points this week. They all played 2 games.

ULL: JJ Thomas - 32 points, 13 rebounds

Denver: Royce O'Neal - 31 points, 16 rebounds

Troy: Emil Jones - 36 points, 16 rebounds

FAU: Greg Gantt - 44 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals

FIU: Phil Taylor - 35 points

FIU: DeJuan Wright - 32 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists

Even with just one game this week... I think it comes down to Tony or Greg Gantt.

Green P1 · January 22, 2012

It's Tony again or it's total bulsh.

I think Tony wins it again. Huge win over a better opponent (that's right, I said it) that puts your team in a 1st place tie in the West.

But, to win it for a fourth straight week, he is going go need to go for 38 and 20 in EACH game next week.

kalebschumann · January 23, 2012

When does this get announced?

When does this get announced?

Some time after the Noon hour.

Would the conference not give it to him since he's already won it twice in a row?

Or is it purely based on the stats from that specific week?

Also, is it determined by the average of the stats, the totals of the stats, or a little of both? Tony could make a strong play for it. I think his Denver game was pretty stellar. I'm just wondering if one game is enough to give him player of the week.
