BGSU men’s basketball junior guard Javontae Campbell was named Mid-American Conference (MAC) Player of the Week on Monday afternoon, marking the first honor of his BGSU career.
He is the second Falcon to be recognized by the conference this season, after senior guard Derrick Butler was named Co-Player of the Week on Dec. 9.
Campbell dominated in Bowling Green’s 87-62 win over Aquinas College on Dec. 23, recording the first triple-double by a Falcon since Nate Miller on Feb. 13, 2007. He is also just the second MAC player (Buffalo’s Tyson Dunn) and 11th in the nation to achieve the stat line.
The Muskogee, Oklahoma, native finished with 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Campbell also recorded five steals in the contest, pushing his season total to 41, the third most in the nation.
Campbell ranks third in the MAC with 68 field goals made, fifth with 15.8 points per game, seventh with 52.7% shooting from the field and 10th with 36 assists.
Next, Campbell and the Falcons will begin conference play at home against the Akron Zips, the reigning MAC champions, on Friday at 6 p.m. Falcon Media Sports Network’s Tyler Kavalecz and Artie Abrego will have the call of the game on Falcon Radio, beginning at 5:45 p.m. for pregame.
