THOMAS
BRITT OF CENTRE COLLEGE, a 5-11, 175-pound senior guard from
Louisville, Ky., has been selected the SCAC Men's Basketball
Player-of-the-Week for games played from Monday, February 11 through
Sunday, February 17.
Britt scored 22 points and grabbed four rebounds in helping the
third-ranked Colonels defeat DePauw 69-66 and clinch the regular-season
SCAC Championship in the team's only game of the week. It was Centre's
21st consecutive win - breaking the old conference mark of 20
consecutive wins set by Rhodes College during the 1991-92 season.
Britt hit eight of his 10 shot attempts, including three of his
five three-point shots and all three of his free throw attempts in 34
minutes of action. The senior also had a block and a steal in the road
victory.
Britt, who is just 68 points of scoring 1,000 points for his
career, leads Centre at 15.9 points per game (seventh in the
SCAC) and has now
scored 20 or more points six times while scoring in double figures in
all but one game.
In addition, Britt leads the conference in field goal percentage
(54.3%), free throw percentage (89.8%) and three-point field goal
percentage (50.5%). No player in SCAC history has led the league in all
three categories in the same season.

Prato Matthews
led Trinity to
a pair of home wins in conference play last weekend, sweeping the season
series from both Hendrix and Millsaps.
Prato Matthews averaged 20.0 points and 8.5 rebounds over the two
games, also collecting 10 blocked shots and three steals. She hit 17 of
23 (73.9%) from the field and 6 of 7 (85.7%) from the foul line for the
weekend.
Against Hendrix on Friday night, Prato Matthews narrowly missed a
triple-double with 18 points, 11 rebounds, and eight blocked shots in
the game. On Sunday, she posted her sixth 20-point game of the year with
22 points against Millsaps, despite playing just 18 minutes of the game.
For the season, Prato Matthews leads the team in both scoring and
rebounding with 14.9 points (eighth in the SCAC) and 9.3 rebounds (third
in the SCAC) per game. She is shooting 51.9% (seventh in the SCAC)) for
the year, and has blocked 57 total shots (tied for first in the SCAC),
leading the team in both of those categories as well.
