MEN'S BASKETBALL PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Ian Robertson | Randolph-Macon | Jr. | Forward
Robertson, a junior from Lewes, Del., had his long-distance jumper dialed in as he helped Randolph-Macon corral a pair of victories last week. Robertson opened his week with 10 points, two rebounds, an assist, a steal, and a blocked shot in a 79-55 win over Salisbury. He hit one three-pointer in that game, but then turned up his production with eight makes from beyond the arc on the way to a career-high 30 points in a 79-65 victory over Hampden-Sydney. He was 9-of-14 overall from the field including 8-of-13 from deep and 4-of-4 from the line. Robertson notched all 14 points of R-MC's 14-4 run to flip the scoreboard and put the Yellow Jackets ahead 41-33 late in the first half. Thru four games, Robertson is averaging 13.3 points per game.
