Winthrop sophomore Xavier Cooks has been tabbed the Big South Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week, announced by the league office Monday afternoon.

The second-year starter averaged 20.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.0 blocks while shooting 55 percent from the field including an impressive 9-for-13 from three. His performance helped the Eagles win two games last week and gain sole possession of first place in the league with two games remaining.

Cooks opened the week with his sixth double-double of the season as he tied his career-high in points with 26 and pulled down 10 rebounds in the team's win over Coastal Carolina. In that game he also finished with four blocks. He followed that performance up with 15 points, nine rebounds and two blocks in the win over UNC Asheville on Saturday.
