Anthony Adams-Rule has been named the G-MAC Men’s Basketball Athlete of the Week for the first time in his career. He is the first Marauders men’s basketball player to receive the honor this week and only the second in the two years of G-MAC basketball.
 
Adams-Rule posted a dominate performance in the team’s only game last week, a 104-98 road win over Salem International. He scored 27 points, which was the second most points scored in a game last week. More impressive, he pulled down 11 rebounds, shot 80% from the field (12-15), and blocked a pair of shots.
 
Central State, which led by as many as 20 points in the second half of the game, saw its lead shrink down to only four point with over six minutes remaining, behind a 28-12 spurt by Salem. Adams-Rule played a huge part in ending that run and pushing the lead back out to 10 points as he scored seven of the teams next nine points to give the Marauders a 10 point lead with four minutes to go, which they would need as they held on by just six points, with the last nine points scored all coming from the free throw line.
 
This was the second-straight game in which Adams-Rule led the team in scoring, after he posted 22 in an overtime win against Davis & Elkins. He has raised his average to 12.9 points per game, second on the team. He continues to lead the team with 6.8 rebound per game and a 65.9 shooting percentage from the floor (71.1% in conference games).  He is second in the conference in overall shooting percentage behind Adam Kline of Alderson Broaddus, but ranks first in shooting percentage in G-MAC contests, just ahead of Kline.
