McKnight Tabbed a Pair of Weekly Honors

NEW YORK – Senior guard Quincy McKnight (Bridgeport, Conn.) averaged 21.0 points per game in a 2-0 week for the Seton Hall men's basketball team, and his efforts were rewarded with Met Writers Player of the Week and a spot on this week's BIG EAST Honor Roll.

In the Pirates' 52-48 win over No. 7 Maryland on Dec. 19, McKnight dropped 17 points, dished out six assists and played a key role in holding the Terps' Anthony Cowan to 3-of-14 shooting from the field. The performance was McKnight's fifth 5-plus assist outing of the season and the 24th of his career.

McKnight then scored a season-high 25 points in the Hall's 75-55 victory over Prairie View A&M on Dec. 22. In his second game filling in for preseason All-American Myles Powell (Trenton, N.J.) at the shooting guard position, McKnight went 9-of-9 from the free throw line and shot 8-of-16 from the field.

McKnight and Seton Hall will return to action on Monday, Dec. 30 when it opens up the BIG EAST Conference portion of its schedule at DePaul in Chicago. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:30 p.m., Eastern, and the game will be televised on FS1.
