GREENWOOD, Ind. – After navigating Central State to a pair of Great Midwest Athletic Conference wins, senior guard Masceo Harmon was the league’s pick as the men’s basketball athlete of the week for the second time this year.
Harmon and the second-place Marauders were stingy on their home floor in Wilberforce, downing Trevecca and Kentucky Wesleyan in succession to improve to 3-1 in the G-MAC standings.
Harmon was also the G-MAC’s Athlete of the Week for the first week of the season back in mid-November for Central State, which has won three straight.
In CSU’s two wins, Harmon averaged 20 points, 4.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds, per game.
Against Kentucky Wesleyan on Satuday, Harmon carved out 21 points on 8-for-18 shooting in an entertaining backcourt matchup against the Panthers. He pulled down six rebounds and dished out four assists.
He scored 15 of his 21 points in the final period to lead a second-half charge after Central State was trailing by an 11-point margin at halftime.
Earlier in the week, Harmon made five more field goals and converted seven shots at the free throw line as part of his game-high 19 points versus Trevecca.
He also handed out five assists and grabbed three rebounds in 27 minutes on the floor.
Harmon currently ranks fifth in the G-MAC in scoring (16.9 ppg), third in assists (4.3 apg), eighth in free throw percentage (75.0) and first in steals (3.0 spg).
