MACON, Ga. -- Jacksonville State junior forward Omar Barlett was named the Atlantic Sun Men's Basketball Player-of-the-Week by the league office on Monday afternoon. Barlett led the Gamecocks to a pair of A-Sun wins on the week while hitting an amazing 19 straight field goals over a three-game stretch.

Barlett, a native of Miami, Fla., put together one of the top shooting nights in the nation in JSU's 91-71 win at Belmont as he hit 10-10 from the floor and six of seven from the line. Barlett finished with a career-high 26 points on the night.

Against Stetson on Thursday night, Barlett opened with six straight made field goals to stretch his streak to 16 straight dating back to the last three successful attempts against Campbell. Barlett finished the Stetson game with 20 points and six boards.

Barlett rounded out the week with a 17 point-nine rebound effort in a triple-overtime game as he played a career-high 46 minutes in the 100-98 loss to Jacksonville.

On the week, Barlett shot an outstanding 82.8 percent (24-29) from the field while averaging 21.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steals per game as the Gamecocks posted a pair of A-Sun wins to climb into seventh place in the conference standings.

The Gamecocks have four games remaining in conference play prior to the conference tournament, which will be held in Orlando, Fla., on the campus of UCF on February 28-March 2.
