December 07, 2020 | Men's Basketball
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Justin Turner, a fifth-year senior guard on the Bowling Green State University men's basketball team, was named the Mid-American Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday (Dec. 7) afternoon. Turner has earned the honor eight times in his Bowling Green career.
Turner led Bowling Green to a 3-0 week by averaging 25.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists. He shot 47.9 percent (23-of-48) from the floor while going 27-of-28 (96.4 percent) from the free throw line. The Detroit native opened the week with 25 points on 9-of-15 shooting in an overtime win at Appalachian State. A few days later, in a win over Purdue Northwest, Turner finished with 19 points, six rebounds, five assists and zero turnovers. He closed the week with the seventh 30-plus point game of his career. In a MAC-opening win over Buffalo on Sunday (Dec. 6), Turner scored a Stroh Center career high of 33 points. He scored 13 of BGSU's last 14 points to guide the Orange and Brown to an 86-78 victory.
Turner surpassed the 1,700-point milestone in Bowling Green's win over Buffalo. He's scored 1,712 points in his career, which ranks seventh all-time at BGSU. Turner needs just 227 points to break the school record. Following the 3-0 week, the graduate student climbed past Clinton Venable (17.1 PPG / 1990-91) on Bowling Green's all-time career scoring average list. Turner now ranks ninth all-time in the category with a 17.3 scoring average over 99 career games.
Bowling Green is 4-1 on the season and hosts Wright State inside the Stroh Center at 12 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 13. Since the start of the 2018-19 season, Bowling Green has racked up a record of 31-4 at the Stroh Center. That record is good enough for a conference-leading .886 winning percentage. The 31 wins are more than any other MAC school over that time frame.
