LA Tech’s Cobe Williams named C-USA Freshman of the Week

RUSTON – Cobe Williams’ near double-double performance this past Thursday earned him Conference USA Freshman of the Week honors, the league announced on Monday.

The freshman provided quality minutes in the matchup at WKU, shooting 5-of-8 from the field for 63 percent, including two three-pointers, in route to a career-high 13 points.

The 5-foot-11 guard also recorded a career-high nine rebounds (eight defensive) which was one short of a game high.

Williams has increased his playing time as the season has gone on. Over the last three games, he is averaging 23.7 minutes while shooting 53 percent from the field and 63 percent from beyond the arc.

This is the first C-USA weekly honor for Williams and the first for any Bulldog this season.

LA Tech has its final two games of the regular season this week at home, starting on Wednesday, March 4 against FIU. Tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m.
