RICHARDSON– Texas A&M University-Commerce basketball player Tyree Robinson has been named the Lone Star Conference men's basketball Offensive Player of the Week. The award was announced Tuesday by the conference office.
  
Robinson– a senior from Fall River, Mass.– earned his second Offensive Player of the Week award and his third overall Player of the Week award. Robinson was the catalyst in the No. 24 Lions' 76-64 win over No. 23 Tarleton to remain undefeated and in first place in the LSC. He scored 26 points on 69.2 percent shooting with eight rebounds (five offensive), four assists, three steals, and two blocks. He was a perfect 8-of-8 from the field in the second half, leading the Lions back from a halftime deficit. He is now shooting 73.9 percent from the field this season to lead the nation, as the only player above 70 percent in that category. He also ranks in the top five in the LSC in offensive rebounds and blocked shots.
 
Robinson and the No. 24 Lions return to action this week for two road LSC contests. They face No. 8 West Texas A&M on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. and Eastern New Mexico on Saturday at 5 p.m. CST.
