Wright State men's basketball center Loudon Love has been named the Horizon League's Co-Player of the Week, the league announced on Monday afternoon.
 
Love turned in 48 total points over two contests this weekend, finishing with a game-high 24 points on 9-of-17 shooting and a 6-of-6 mark from the free throw line while adding a game-high nine rebounds against UIC on national television. The 24 points were three shy of his career-high and his 17th double-digit scoring game of the season. He has now scored in double-figures in 13 of 14 Horizon League contests, with five games of 20-plus points. For his efforts, Love was named ESPN SportsCenter's 'King of the Night' on Friday's late editions of the program. On Sunday, Love, wearing No. 33 to honor Ryan Custer, finished with 18 points, 14 of which came in the first half, and a game-high eight rebounds in just 23 minutes of action.
 
Wright State has won eight of its last nine overall and closed their Horizon League home schedule on Sunday with a win to go undefeated inside the Nutter Center in league action this season. The Raiders now take a two-game lead in the HL standings on the road for the final three games on the regular season, beginning on Thursday night as they take on Youngstown State.
 
Love's selection is his second Horizon League Player of the Week honor this season. Love was also named Horizon League Player of the Week on December 31, while Grant Basile earned Freshman of the Week accolades on November 25 and Tanner Holden was named the Horizon League Freshman of the Week on December 23.
