RICHARDSON, Texas (Jan. 25) – Dauntae Williams earned yet another weekly honor from the Lone Star Conference office Monday when the Central Oklahoma junior was named North Division Offensive Player of the Week.
Williams has claimed a weekly award six times already, having won the offensive and defensive honor three times apiece.
The 6-foot-4 guard was recognized this week after averaging 22.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 2.0 steals in leading the two-time defending North Division champion Bronchos to league wins over Southwestern Oklahoma and Cameron. He shot 63.6 percent (14-of-22) from the field, including 58.3 percent (7-of-12) from 3-point range, in the two games.
Williams had 15 points, seven assists and three steals while playing just 18 minutes in a 96-76 home rout of SWOSU, then scored a season-high 29 points with 10 rebounds and five assists in a 71-69 overtime win over the Aggies. He made five 3-pointers in the CU win and assisted on the game-winning basket at the buzzer in OT.
Williams is enjoying a sensational season for the Bronchos, who are 15-4 on the season and riding an 11-game winning streak. Williams leads the conference in assists (5.2) while ranking third in scoring (19.3), field goal percentage (61.0) and steals (2.4) and sixth in rebounding (7.8).
UCO is tied for the LSC North lead at 4-0 with Texas A&M-Commerce and Northeastern State and plays both those teams this week, going to A&M-C Wednesday and then hosting NSU Saturday at 8 p.m.
