MBB: March 9 Players of the Week

DALLAS – Liberty’s Taelon Peter and Kennesaw State’s Adrian Wooley earned Conference USA Men’s Basketball weekly honors. The 2024-25 Players of the Week are voted on by the league’s sports information directors.
 
CUSA Player of the Week – Taelon Peter, Liberty – R-Sr. – G – Russellville, Ark.
Peter was sensational en route to his first CUSA Player of the Week and helping Liberty (25-6, 13-5 CUSA) secure the outright regular season title. The redshirt senior guard averaged 27.0 points and 7.5 rebounds while shooting a blistering 69.2 (18-26) percent from the field, 50 (7-14) percent from deep and a perfect 100 (11-11) percent from the foul line. He started out the weekend matching his season-high with a 33-point performance off the bench in a crucial road win at MTSU. In the season finale at WKU, Peter notched 21 points and nine boards while going 7-12 from the field and 4-8 from downtown. He finished the regular season as the Flames leading scorer (13.7) and averaged 21.8 points in nine CUSA road contests.
 
CUSA Freshman of the Week – Adrian Wooley, Kennesaw State – Fr. – G – Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Wooley makes history with his 11th Freshman of the Week honor of the season – the most by a student-athlete in league history – as the Owls (18-13, 10-8 CUSA) swept the season series over rival Jax State. The freshman sensation dropped 17 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals in a come-from-behind effort on the road. His double-digit scoring performance marked the 28th time this season he has reached that feat. Wooley ended the regular season ranked third in CUSA during league play with 19.8 points per game. Kennesaw State secured the No. 4 seed with their win and will matchup with No. 5 NM State on Thursday in Huntsville, Ala.
