SUWANEE, Ga. -- \#Chris Sanders\# of Millsaps College, a senior guard from Brandon, Miss., has been named the SCAC Men's Basketball Player of the Week for games played Monday, Feb. 9 through Sunday, Feb. 15.

In an impressive weekend sweep for the Majors in Jackson, Sanders poured in back-to-back 20-point games for the first time of his career to keep Millsaps' SCAC Tournament hopes alive in two weeks.

On the weekend, Sanders averaged 20.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists-per-game while shooting 55 percent from 3-point range (6-of-11) and 48 percent from the floor (13-of-27). 

In Sunday's win over SU, Sanders had a career-high 21 points off the bench – 15 in the first half – on 7-of-12 shooting as Millsaps wrapped up its regular season home schedule. The senior also had five steals on the weekend to move into third in the SCAC this season and fifth all-time at Millsaps. 

Millsaps will close out the regular season at Hendrix College on Saturday.
