RICHARDSON, Texas – West Texas A&M junior Qua Grant was named the Lone Star Conference Defensive Player of the Week for the fifth time in his career on Monday afternoon after recording his 10th career double-double in the Buffs season opener against Texas A&M-Commerce.
Grant, a native of Waxahachie, earns defensive player of the week for the first time this season after earning the award four times as a sophomore in 2019-20. The LSC Preseason Player of the Year scored a game-high 27 points while pulling down 10 rebounds, eight of those on the defensive glass, to go along with six steals in the Buffs 100-70 victory over TAMUC. He was also part of a defense that held the Lions to 41.5 percent from the floor and 25.9 percent from 3-point range.
The Buffs are scheduled return to action on Jan. 8 and 9 when they host DBU at the First United Bank Center.
