NEW ORLEANS – The Sun Belt Conference announced today that Georgia Southern redshirt junior Quan Jackson has been named the league's Men's Basketball Player of the Week.
He is the third Eagle to earn the honor this season, joining Elijah McCadden, who won the award Nov. 26, and Ike Smith, who earned the honor Dec. 30.
Jackson averaged 23.5 points, 4.5 steals and three rebounds in a 2-0 week for the Eagles, who are tied for second place in the Sun Belt standings. He scored his 1,000th career point with a 3-pointer from the wing with 7:15 remaining in the first half Saturday at Louisiana. Jackson shot 60 percent from the floor in the two contests, canning 18 of 30 shots, including 7 of 12 from long distance.
Georgia Southern opens a two-game Sun Belt homestand Thursday when the Eagles play host to Coastal Carolina at 7 p.m. in Hanner Fieldhouse. GS also hosts Appalachian State Saturday at 4 p.m. It is the Chanticleers' and Mountaineers' first visit to Statesboro since the 2016-17 season.
