KENNESAW, Ga. – Adrian Wooley was named Conference USA Men's Basketball Freshman of the Week after an outstanding debut on the court, the league office announced on Monday afternoon. This is the first-ever weekly award for Wooley, and the first for the Owls as members of CUSA, while he is the first player to earn Freshman or Newcomer of the Week accolades since Frankquon Sherman on Nov. 20, 2023 (ASUN).
Wooley, a 6-5 freshman guard from Tuscaloosa, Ala., is currently the top freshman scorer in CUSA after averaging 16.5 points. In his first-ever action against a Division I squad, he scored a career-high 19 points while shooting 4-9 from the floor, 3-5 from three-point range and a perfect 8-of-8 at the free throw line in a last minute road loss at Cal Baptist. He also added six rebounds and five assists in the contest.
Against Toccoa Falls in the season opener for KSU, Wooley posted 14 points to go along with five rebounds and three assists. For the week, he averaged 5.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and shot 52.6% from the floor, 50% from three-point range and 88.9% at the line.
NEXT TIME OUT: The Owls start a four-game homestand by hosting Bryan College on Wednesday in a 7 p.m. contest, followed by a Saturday game at 11 a.m. against Presbyterian. Both games will be streamed live on ESPN+.
