Tre King is leading the Colonels in scoring and rebounding.

On Dec. 7, King was chosen as the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Week after averaging a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds-per-game. He also averaged a team-best 3 steals-per-game. 

The 6-9 forward posted career highs in points (25), rebounds (13) and three-pointers (three) in the near-upset of Xavier in Cincinnati. He beat the buzzer with a step-back three at the end of regulation to tie it and force overtime. King also came up with four steals versus the Musketeers.  Two days later, King went for 17 points and seven rebounds in a convincing 95-78 road win at USC Upstate.
