Davis Named A-10 Men’s Basketball Player of the Week

CHARTOUNY AND ABRAM NAMED CO-ROOKIES OF THE WEEK

Davis scored the second-most points in UMass history when he had 40 in a 103-95 overtime victory versus New Orleans Wednesday. Davis was one point shy of tying Billy Tindall for the Massachusetts single-game record (41 vs. Vermont; Feb. 10, 1968). His 40 points set the Mullins Center record for individual points in a game, a mark previously held by Marcus Camby (38 vs. Dayton; Jan. 6, 1996), who was in the building for the game as part of the celebration of and banner-raising for former coach John Calipari. Davis, a guard from DeSoto, Texas, scored 17 points in each half of regulation before he added six points during the crucial overtime period, all of which came at the foul line. He shot 10-of-18 from the floor with a Mullins Center record 18 made free throws in 20 attempted. His 18 free throws also ranks second all-time in program history while his 20 foul shots attempted tied him for fourth in the category. It marked the second time this season an Atlantic 10 player has broken the 40-point barrier. Davidson’s Jack Gibbs scored 41 early this season against Charlotte.

Chartouny scored a season-high 21 points and added seven rebounds and a season-best seven steals in win over Maine.

This is the second straight Rookie of the Week award for Chartouny this season and the third time this season he’s earned the honor.

The guard from Carrollton, Texas, led Mason against Longwood, going 8-for-14 from the floor and hitting three triples in the process.
