Valdosta State forward David Murray (SR, 6-4, 220, Birmingham, AL) is the
Noah Basketball Gulf South Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week for the week ending January 26. Murray earns his first-ever accolade after averaging 23.0 points and 7.0 rebounds in 30.5 minutes of VSU’s 1-1 week. He was also red hot from the field, shooting 80.1 percent from the floor and 75.0 percent from beyond the arc.
The senior netted 14 points led by a 3-for-4 effort from three-point range and grabbed four rebounds in just 26 minutes in Thursday’s 72-68 home setback to No. 20 Delta State. The Birmingham, AL native saved his best for last on Saturday, leading VSU to an 84-65 triumph over Christian Brothers thanks to double-double, which included a career-high 32 points and 10 rebounds. Murray was 12-for-14 from the floor, including a 6-for-8 performance from beyond the arc.
