Memphis's Joe Jackson has been chosen as the StatSheet C-USA Player of the Week for the week ending February 6th. StatSheet's C-USA Freshman of the Week goes to Jalen Jones from Southern Methodist. Finally, Memphis's Joe Jackson has taken StatSheet's C-USA 6th Man of the Week. Jackson had respectable numbers with 2.5 rebounds per game, 14 points per game, and 5.5 assists per game. The Memphis sophomore played well in a victory versus Xavier and a loss to Southern Miss.

Jackson contributed 3 assists and 66% shooting in 18 minutes in a 75-72 loss to Southern Miss. He followed that up by leading the team in scoring with 14 points plus an additional 8 assists in a narrow 72-68 win against Xavier.

This is the first time this season that Joe Jackson has been named StatSheet C-USA Player of the Week. However, he has received multiple honorable mentions. The runner-up this week is Southern Miss senior Darnell Dodson. Honorable mention goes to junior LaShay Page from Southern Miss. John Bohannon, who finished 14th, was the highest ranking player from Texas-El Paso.

This is a first for Jalen Jones, who has never won the StatSheet C-USA Freshman of the Week. The runner-up is Ricky Tarrant from Tulane. Honorable mention goes to our own Julian Washburn.
