GLIAC -- Colin Golson, Jr. (Detroit, Mich. / rndale (Siena / Eastern Michigan)) of the Wayne State University men's basketball team was named GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career on Monday.  The honor comes after Golson averaged a double-double with 20 points and 10.5 rebounds per game in a pair of much-needed Wayne State victories.

The redshirt junior opened the week with 13 points and eight boards in 22 minutes for a 75-61 win over Michigan Tech on Thursday.  He then followed that up with a game high and personal-best 27 points and 13 rebounds (tied career high) in the 84-80 victory against league-leading Northern Michigan on Saturday.  In that win over the Wildcats, Golson went 10-of-14 from the field and 7-for-8 at the free throw line.

Golson and his teammates will play their 2023-24 regular season finale at Saginaw Valley State on Saturday with the opening tip scheduled for 3 p.m.  The Warriors need to defeat the Cardinals to qualify for the GLIAC Tournament.
