NASHVILLE --- Tusculum University's Trenton Gibson has been named the College Basketball Men's Basketball Player of the Week by the Tennessee Sportswriters Association (TSWA).

Gibson accounted for his third double-double of the season with 17 points and 12 rebounds in leading the Pioneers to a 79-68 come-from-behind win over Lenoir-Rhyne last Wednesday in the regular-season finale.

Gibson, a junior guard from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, also dished out five assists and went 4-for-4 from the free throw line as TU overcame an 11-point second half deficit and used a 21-2 run in the final period for the victory.

On Wednesday, Gibson was named the 2021 SAC Men's Basketball Player of the Year, becoming the third player in program history to garner league player of the year accolades.

Tusculum (13-4) will host Carson-Newman on Thursday in the semifinal round of the 2021 Pilot Flying J South Atlantic Conference Men's Basketball Championship. Tip-off time is 7:30 p.m. from Pioneer Arena.
