ROCK HILL, S.C. --- Tusculum University guard Trenton Gibson has been named the AstroTurf South Atlantic Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week.

Gibson, a graduate student from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, recorded the second triple-double of his career to highlight a perfect 2-0 week for the Pioneers.

He posted 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists as TU rallied from an 11-point deficit to knock off Catawba 85-73 for the Pioneers' fourth win in a row. He becomes the first player in program history with two triple-doubles in a career.

Gibson opened the week with 13 points and 10 rebounds in the Pioneers' 65-60 home win over Wingate. TU overcame an 11-point deficit in that game as well to split the season series with the Bulldogs.

On the week, he averaged 16.5 points, 10 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. He has posted double-doubles in each of his last 3 contests and went 13-of-13 at the free throw line and has connected on 21 in a row dating back to Dec. 11.

This marks the third time Gibson has been tabbed SAC Player of the Week in his career.
