LSC BASKETBALL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
LSC North Women's
Cassidy Pillow, University of Central Oklahoma
Sr., Forward, Elgin, Okla./Elgin
Senior veteran led UCO to a pair of home wins as the Bronchos opened LSC North Division play, averaging 18.0 points a game while shooting 57.9 percent from the field and 91.7 percent from the line.  She had 18 points in UCO's 74-68 win over defending North Division and overall league champion Texas A&M-Commerce, then followed that with another 18-point outing in just 19 minutes during an 83-55 rout of Cameron.

LSC South Women's
Courtney Lee, West Texas A&M University
Jr., G, Arlington, Texas/Kennedale HS
Lee has played solidly for the Lady Buffs, scoring 14 points in WT's 74-53 win over Angelo State and 16 points in WT's 85-60 rout of Eastern New Mexico this week. She also has been effective under the basket, grabbing five offensive and five defensive rebounds, in addition to her five steals, four assists and one block. Against ASU, she dished out assists on sophomore Holly Isaacs' back-to-back three pointers - the second of which resulted from a steal by Lee - that put the nail in the coffin for the Rambelles. Her quick hands and aggressive play have helped her collect the second most steals (20) and second most blocks (7) for the Lady Buffs this season. Also, she is the second highest scorer with 181 points for a 12.1 points per game average and has the fourth highest assist tally with 31.

LSC North Men's
Sam Belt, University of Central Oklahoma
Sr., Guard/Forward, Broken Arrow, Okla./Broken Arrow
Senior star led UCO to a pair of LSC North Division wins while setting a school career record for 3-pointers.  Belt averaged 21.5 points, 10.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists a game as the Bronchos edged Texas A&M-Commerce and routed Cameron.  He had 15 points and 10 boards in an 84-83 win over the Lions, then scored a seaon-high 28 points while adding 10 rebounds in a 112-90 victory over the Aggies.  Belt made four 3-pointers in the Cameron game, giving him 216 for his career to break the school mark of 212.

LSC South Men's
Reggie Love, Texas A&M University-Kingsville
Sr., Guard, Wichita, Kan./North
Love  helped the Javelinas start 2-0 for the first time in four seasons with a sweep of Eastern New Mexico and Midwestern State.  Love had 17 points, all in the second half as the Javelinas rallied from down seven at halftime to win at Midwestern State.  He hit 5-of-7 shots overall, 3-of-5 3-point shots and all four free throws in the second half.  He had 14 points and hit 4 of 6 3-point shot attempts in the win over Eastern New Mexico.  Again he was spectacular in the second half, scoring eight of his 14 points in the second half and hitting 2 of 3 3-point shots attempts.
