The accolades continue to pile up for Buffalo State senior forward Justin Mitchell (Buffalo/Timon) as he was named to the D3Hoops.com National Team of the Week. Mitchell was already named SUNYAC Player of the Week after becoming the 20th Bengal to score 1,000 career points while averaging 31.0 points and 9.0 rebounds in a pair of SUNYAC wins last weekend.
The senior sociology major had a double-double with 27 points and 12 boards in an 89-68 win over Oneonta on Friday, and then scored a career-best 35 points in a 109-99 win over New Paltz on Saturday. He shot an astounding 73-percent from the field and also had six blocks in the two games.
He now has 1,007 career points. Mitchell currently ranks second in the SUNYAC, averaging 23.3 points-per-game, is third in the league in rebounding averaging 9.3, and leads the way with 18 blocked shots.
