RICHMOND, Va. – Elon University sophomore guard
Luke Eddy has been named the Colonial Athletic Association Men's Basketball Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday, Dec. 15.
Â
Eddy came off the bench to score a career-high 27 points in only 24 minutes in Elon's narrow 78-73 setback at Missouri last Thursday. The Charleston, W.Va., native poured in 21 second-half points to help the Phoenix erase a 19-point deficit, including a three-pointer with under a minute to play that cut the Tigers' lead to one. Eddy finished 8-of-15 from the floor, including 3-of-5 from three-point range, and was a perfect 8-for-8 at the free throw line.
Â
Elon returns to action tonight at 7 p.m. at second-ranked Duke. The game will be televised live on ESPNU.
