GSC Player of the Week Scott Dennis and the No. 10 Bucs visit West Alabama and West Georgia this week.
MEMPHIS—The Christian Brothers University Bucs remained No. 10 in this week's NABC Division II Coaches' Poll, and senior guard Scott Dennis (Cincinnati, Ohio, Sycamore HS) earned his second GSC Player of the Week award of the season heading into this weekend's games, tonight at West Alabama and Saturday afternoon at West Georgia. | Game Notes | CBU-UWA Live Stats | CBU-UWA Live Video | CBU-UWG Live Stats | CBU-UWG Live Video |

Dennis, who also won the award Dec. 7, played all 80 minutes of the Bucs' wins over West Florida and Valdosta State.  He averaged 21.0 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, shooting 64 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent from three-point range for the week.  He scored 18 points with six rebounds in the Bucs' 79-66 win over West Florida, and he followed with 24 points and 11 rebounds in a 62-50 win over Valdosta State.  The Player of the Week award was the fifth of his career.

Both GSC schools in the top 10 retained their spot in this week's poll, as Alabama-Huntsville remained No. 6.  West Georgia slid out of the rankings after a pair of road losses last week.
