ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Indiana State transfer guard Courvoisier McCauley has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Men's Basketball Newcomer of the Week for the second consecutive week and third time overall this season, as announced Monday afternoon by the league.
 
This marks the second time ever and first time since Manny Arop in 2012 that a Sycamore has earned back-to-back MVC Newcomer of the Week honors, and McCauley joins Brenton Scott and Jake Odum as the only three Sycamores to earn the award three times in one season.
 
As Indiana State's leading scorer and rebounder this season, McCauley led the Sycamores to two double-digit victories this week to extend their win streak to five games. He averaged 18 points on the week with a team-high 15 points against Valparaiso alongside six rebounds, three triples, a block, and a steal in the game.
 
Saturday at Northern Iowa, McCauley paced all scorers in the game with 21 points and a game-high five triples for his eighth 20+-point outing this season. He is one of just seven Valley players with eight or more 20+-point games this year.
 
McCauley ranks top-five in the league in 3-point percentage, 3-pointers per game, and total 3-pointers made. He currently ranks fourth in program history for threes made in a single season with 83 and is 10 triples away from moving into sole possession of second place on that list.
