BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – After a pair of career-high scoring performances and setting a program single-game record for three-pointers, Lamar Peters garnered SEC Co-Player of the Week announced Monday by the conference office.
For Peters, it marks his second career weekly award from the SEC and the fifth time Mississippi State has captured the honor under fourth-year coach Ben Howland. He shares this week's nod with Tennessee's Admiral Schofield.
Peters racked up 27.5 points and 5.0 assists per game as the Bulldogs extended their winning streak to a SEC-best five straight games with wins over McNeese State and Clemson, a 2018 NCAA Sweet 16 team. He canned 62.1 percent of his shots fueled by 16 three-pointers.
Peters set a program single-game record with eight treys against McNeese State only to equal it four days later versus Clemson. The New Orleans, Louisiana, native amassed a career-high 28 points and dished out five assists during the Clemson game besting his career mark of 27 points from the McNeese State game.
For the season, Peters has posted 14.2 points and 5.7 points per game. He has dialed up 30 of his 44 field goals from three-point territory, while his 3.3 treys per game are third in the SEC. The 5.7 assists are fifth whereas the 14.2 points are 18th on the SEC leaderboard.
