JACKSON, Tenn. - 2/28/2011 - The No. 11 91±¬ÁÏÍø (Tenn.) University men’s basketball team put three players on the 2011 TranSouth Conference Postseason Honors list. CJ Davis and Stan McNeil each were named first team all-conference performers. Shane Burrell was a second team all-conference selection.
Davis, a sophomore guard, leads 91±¬ÁÏÍø with 15 points per game and 116 made free throws (116-148, 78%). He is also third on the team with 49 three pointers. Davis is in his first season playing for the Bulldogs after transferring in and red-shirting last season.
McNeil, a senior guard, averages 11.0 points per game and has a team-high 71 three pointers made. His .483 shooting percentage from behind the arc ranks No. 3 in the NAIA. McNeil also ranks No. 13 with a 2.42 assists/turnover ratio. The Jackson State (Tenn.) product was named second team all-conference last season, his first with the Bulldogs.
Burrell, a junior forward, finished just shy of averaging a double-double for the regular season. Burrell averaged 12.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. He has recorded a team-high eight double-doubles on the season. Burrell ranks third in the TranSouth in rebounds per game.
After winning the past two TranSouth Championships, 91±¬ÁÏÍø finished as the No. 2 seed in the regular season. However, a win in their final regular season game would place the Bulldogs in a tie for first in the TranSouth and a Co-Championship. 91±¬ÁÏÍø does not hold the tie breaker over Martin Methodist (Tenn.).
