Brittany Gilliam Named C-USA Player Of The Week
Jan. 25, 2010
IRVING, Texas (SMU) - Brittany Gilliam became the first SMU women's basketball player of the season to earn Conference USA Player of the Week after leading the Mustangs to a 73-59 win over East Carolina Saturday in Dallas.
The senior led all scorers with 19 points, while leading a defensive effort that held the league's top scoring offense with 75.7 points per game to its third lowest total of the season, propelling the Mustangs past the Pirates and into a three-way tie for first-place in the conference.
Gilliam was 7-of-14 from the field, including a season-high four 3-pointers, connecting on 4-of-5 shots from behind the arc. Seven of Gilliam's 19 points were scored during a two-minute stretch late in the second half, ending ECU's comeback effort. Her 19 points and seven rebounds are season-highs against conference opponents. The guard also had three assists and three steals in the win.
Gilliam will lead the Mustangs into Houston this week as the Mustangs take on Rice and Houston. SMU will tip-off with Rice Thursday at 7 p.m., and face the Cougars Saturday at 2 p.m.

This award is a week late - her performance against UNLV last week was the best I've ever seen from her.
Go PONIES!

SMU didn't play UNLV. I think you have the wrong team however congrats to BG. Great job and hopefully this will lead to you getting on the roll we need you on to get into the tournament.

I think he probably meant UTEP, instead of UNLV. BG had a huge game, 17 points, 11 assists, 5 steals, and only 1 turnover, and on defense she shut down Jerieca Hughes. He probably just got the names jumbled.
