Weathers Named SWAC Men’s Basketball Co-Player of the Week

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Southwestern Athletic Conference has named Texas Southern senior guard Michael Weathers as its co-player of the week for his outstanding performances during the opening week of competition.

Weathers (Roeland Park, Kansas) led TSU in scoring (14.7 ppg) over a three-game span as the Tigers capped off the week with a comeback win over Wyoming in which he scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half. The senior guard also led TSU for the past three games in field goals made (19), rebounds (7.7) and steals (2.0). He finished one rebound short of a double-double in his TSU debut at Washington State and has scored in double digits while collecting seven or more rebounds in all three games.

TSU is back in action Thursday night at Saint Mary’s College of the West Coast Conference.
