BOSTON (MA) -- Akron's Loren Cristian Jackson earns Lou Henson
award national player of the week honors.
The 5-foot-8 junior helped the Zips to a pair of Mid-American
Conference road wins last week. On Tuesday he had 20 points and
three steals at Miami. On Saturday he finished with a
career-high 35 points and added five assists and two steals at
Ohio.
The Lou Henson Award is presented annually to the top Mid-Major
player in Division I college basketball.
The award is named in honor of Lou Henson who retired after a
spectacular coaching career that lasted 41 years. When he left
the game in 2005 he was sixth all-time in career Division I wins
with 779. He is the winningest coach at both Illinois and New
Mexico State. He is one of only 12 coaches in the history of the
game to take two schools to the Final Four.
