BLAKE MARTINEZ OF MILLSAPS COLLEGE, a senior guard from Mandeville, La., has been named SCAC Basketball Player-of-the-Week for games played Monday, February 15 through Sunday, February 21.

Martinez single-handedly willed the Majors into the SCAC playoffs by averaging 28.0 points per game in a weekend sweep of Colorado College and Austin College.

He tied a career-high with 29 points on Friday night against the Tigers and scored 25 of his 27 points in the second-half in a come-from-behind victory over the top-seeded ‘Roos to secure the Majors' spot in the SCAC Tournament field.

For the weekend, Martinez shot 47 percent from the field (18-of-38) and 42 percent from beyond the arc (9-of-21) while going 11-for-12 from the free-throw line.
