Campbell’s 47 Points At UMass Broke Program’s Road Scoring Record
CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference announced the men's basketball MAC Player of the Week Monday afternoon (Jan. 5), naming Bowling Green senior guard Javontae Campbell this week's recipient. The honor is the fifth weekly recognition of Campbell's BGSU career and third of the season after being named on Nov. 10 and Dec. 8.
