TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama men's basketball senior guard Retin Obasohan has been named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday morning.
Obasohan, a 6-foot-2, 215-pound senior guard from Antwerp, Belgium, led the Crimson Tide to a 51-50 win at Clemson on Sunday night. Playing without starting point guard Dazon Ingram (season-ending foot injury) for the first time, Obasohan scored a career-high 23 points, including 15 coming in the first half, en route to the Tide's first four-game win streak away from home since the 2001-02 campaign. Obasohan was unstoppable as he scored nearly half of the Tide's 51 points (45 percent) on the night.
In addition to setting a new career-best scoring output, Obasohan also set new career marks for field goals made (9-of-16) and three-pointers made (4-of-7) in the Tide's fourth consecutive road win.
Obasohan and the Crimson Tide will return to action on Wednesday night when the Crimson Tide hosts Winthrop at 8 p.m. CT. It will mark Alabama's first home game since a 105-93 win over Louisiana on Nov. 20. Tickets are available online at RollTide.com, by phone at 1-877-TIDETIX (843-3849) or at the Alabama Ticket Office, located in the lobby of Coleman Coliseum.
