For the second time in three weeks, Cal State San Bernardino’s Darius Mickens has earned the Men’s Basketball Player of the Week award. This time for his two-game performances during the week of Jan. 24-31.

Mickens nearly averaged a double-double with 18.0 points and 9.5 rebounds per game as he led the No. 3-ranked Yotes to their 10th straight win with a pair of victories.

In the win over Cal State East Bay, Mickens put-up 20 points and pulled 14 rebounds with four assists. He shot 55 percent from the floor, going 6 of 11 and made 2 of 3 three-point tries. Mickens was 6-for-6 from the foul line.

Saturday at Cal State Dominguez Hills, the junior guard from Willis, Texas, scored 16 points with five rebounds and two steals. He was 4-for-8 from the field and 8-for-12 from the free throw line.

Mickens leads the CCAA with a .644 field goal percentage, well ahead of teammate Daytone Jennings’ .495 percentage in second.

Mickens was the CCAA player of the week for Jan. 10-16 after averaging 20 points and 10 rebounds on the road at Sonoma State and Humboldt.
