Roberson averaged 25 and 7 in two wins
RUSTON, La. – Louisiana Tech's Anna Larr Roberson was named conference USA's Player of the Week today after an incredibly strong finish to the regular season with wins at Old Dominion (65-62) and at home over UAB (82-56) to clinch their first conference title since 2011.Â
Â
At ODU, Roberson scored 31 points on 10-13 shooting including a perfect 10-10 at the free throw to go along with eight rebounds, two blocks, and two steals.Â
Â
She followed that up with 19 points and six rebounds in Saturday's title-clinching home finale over UAB. This week, Roberson averaged 25 points and seven rebounds on 67 percent shooting from the field and 87 percent from the line.Â
Â
Roberson finished the regular season scoring in double figures in 25 of her 28 games including two 20-point performances (Charlotte, ULM), the 31-point game at ODU, and a historic 44-point night in the double-overtime thriller over Rice which is the fifth-highest game total in program history. Her 20 field goals that game tied a record set by Belinda Jones in 1975.
Â
In the conference, she ranked second in free-throw percentage (.860), was second in double-doubles (8), second in rebounds (8.6 rpg), third in field goal percentage (.528), and sixth in scoring (15.3 ppg).Â
Â
The local Cedar Creek product also surpassed 500 career rebounds earlier in the season at North Texas and recorded a new career-high 15 rebounds against Mississippi Valley State and Southern Miss.Â
Â
This is Roberson's first career C-USA player of the week honor.Â
Â
After an 0-4 start to conference play, Roberson helped lead the Techsters to an 11-3 finish to capture the West title and secure a one seed in this week's 2022 Heritage Landscape Supply Group C-USA Championships where the Techsters will await the winner of Western Kentucky and UAB on Thursday, Mar. 10 at 1:30 p.m. CT inside the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.Â
