Anderson Shoots His Way to MSC Weekly Honors

LEBANON, Tenn.--Cumberland junior guard Arnez Anderson earned Mid-South Conference Men's Basketball Offensive Player of the Week honors after averaging 21.5 points and shooting 63.3 percent from the field across two games for the Phoenix.

The Nashville, Tenn., native totaled 43 points on 19-of-30 shooting, connecting on 3-of-5 attempts from three-point range and both of his free throws. Anderson added four rebounds, four assists and four steals as Cumberland split its two contests.

Anderson opened the week with 21 points on 10-of-15 shooting in Cumberland's 82-75 victory over Mobile on Thursday. He knocked down one of his two three-point attempts while adding three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes.

On Saturday, Anderson followed with 22 points in the Phoenix's 103-100 double-overtime setback at Fisk. He finished 9-of-15 from the floor, including 2-of-3 from beyond the arc, and went 2-for-2 at the free-throw line. Anderson also contributed three assists, three steals and one rebound in 43 minutes.

The award marks Cumberland's fourth MSC weekly honor this season. Kenny Ellis previously earned one offensive and one defensive award, while Malik Currie collected a defensive honor.

Cumberland returns to action Friday, November 13, traveling to Lawrenceville, Ga., to face No. 18 Georgia Gwinnett at 6 p.m.
