CLEVELAND, Ohio – Justin Turner, a redshirt-junior on the Bowling Green State University men's basketball team, has been named the Mid-American Conference East Division Player of the Week. The league office announced the news on Monday (Feb. 3) afternoon. Turner also earned the recognition on Nov. 11, 2019.

In Bowling Green's first win at Buffalo in nine years, the native of Detroit registered 23 points and three rebounds. Turner went 11-for-21 from the field, coming just one field goal shy of tying his career high.
The Falcons are one of 16 schools receiving votes in the latest addition of the Associated Press Top 25. Bowling Green tips at Central Michigan at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 4. The Falcons are on an eight-game winning streak and sit all alone atop the MAC standings.
