After a huge week that saw the Rainbow Warriors knock off two of the top three teams in the Big West, University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa men\u2019s basketball<\/a> player Justin McKoy earned Big West Player of the Week honors. It is the first Player of the Week honor for McKoy and the second time a UH<\/abbr> player got the award this season.<\/p>\n

The 6‘8“ forward averaged a double-double of 19.5 points and 10.0 rebounds per game as UH<\/abbr> defeated conference heavyweights UC<\/abbr> San Diego and UC<\/abbr> Davis. For the week, McKoy shot 67 percent from the floor (10-of-15), 67 percent on threes (4-of-6) and 88 percent from the line (15-of-17).<\/p>\n

McKoy tied his career high with 22 points and added nine rebounds, four assists and three blocks in a 94-86 overtime win over UC<\/abbr> San Diego. He made three key defensive plays in overtime, including a forced turnover and an errant shot on back-to-back possession in the final minute to help UH<\/abbr> pull away from the Tritons.<\/p>\n

Two nights later he notched a 17-point, 11-rebound double-double in UH<\/abbr>\u2019s 87-70 rout of UC<\/abbr> Davis. McKoy fueled <\/abbr>UH<\/abbr>\u2019s game-changing 18-2 run against the Aggies with 10 points, while hitting all three of his three-point attempts in the first half as the ‘Bows built a double-digit lead it would maintain nearly throughout.<\/p>\n
