CHICAGO - Following career-best games against Lehigh and Stanford, junior forward Myke Henry was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll on Dec. 1. Henry averaged 26.5 points and 8.0 rebounds during the week while shooting .618 (21-34) from the field.
The Chicago native posted his first career double-double with 24 points and a career-high 10 rebounds against Lehigh along with three steals. Henry followed that effort on Sunday with a career-high 29 points against Stanford with six rebounds, three assists, three blocked shots and two steals.
Henry has four double-figure scoring games in as many games this season for DePaul after totaling just three double-figure games in 57 career games at Illinois.
Henry was joined on the honor roll by Butler's Kellen Dunham, D'Vauntes Smith-Rivera of Georgetown, D'Angelo Harrison from St. John's and Villanova's Dylan Ennis. Seton Hall's Sterling Gibbs was the player of the week and Marquette's Duane Wilson was the league's rookie of the week.
The Blue Demons host Northern Illinois on Tuesday night at Allstate Arena before traveling to Chicago State on Thursday night. For ticket information, contact the DePaul ticket office at (773) 325-SLAM.
