Junior TJ Ben has been named the Mississippi College Merit Health Male Athlete of the Week, it was announced on Monday (Jan. 27).

Ben (Philadelphia, Miss.) scored a team-high 16 points, tying a season-high with four three-pointers against Alabama Huntsville on Saturday afternoon. He also chipped in six points in the tight road loss to Lee on Thursday night.

On the season, the Southwest MS CC transfer has battled injuries but is shooting over 50% from the three-point line and averaging 7.9 points per game. He has made multiple three-pointers in seven of his 13 games played this season with a season-high four in three contests.

Ben and the Choctaws will be home for a pair of GSC games this week, hosting Lee (Jan. 30) and UAH (Feb. 1) in A.E. Wood Coliseum.
