Collin Dennis solidified himself as the Sun Belt Conference’s top newcomer, earning his second Player of the Week award after a pair of dominating performances.
Dennis’ two Player of the Week wins combined with Josh White’s pair, gives the Mean Green four for the season – tops among all Sun Belt teams.
The junior helped North Texas finish off a pair of season sweeps against ULM and Arkansas State by averaging 18.0 points per game this week. He tallied 24 points on 9-of-12 shooting versus the Indians.
For the week, Dennis hit 13-of-20 (65.0 percent) of his field goal attempts, including 8-of-10 (80.0 percent) from beyond the arc.
Against ULM, Dennis showed his defensive prowess in a 72-40 beating of the Warhawks, which is the largest margin of defeat in Fant-Ewing Coliseum history. Dennis tallied a pair of steals and four rebounds to go with 12 points at ULM.
Dennis and the Mean Green return to action this week at Louisiana-Lafayette on Thursday and at New Orleans on Saturday.
