INDIANAPOLIS – After leading the Northern Kentucky men's basketball program to a perfect 2-0 start in conference play, standout guard Marques Warrick was named the Under Armour Horizon League Player of the Week, announced by the league office on Monday.
 
Warrick had a huge week as NKU collected wins over Robert Morris and IUPUI. The senior started the slate off with 25 points on a 9-of-13 night from the field, to go with four rebounds, three assists and a game-best three steals as the Norse knocked off the Colonials by a 77-59 margin on Wednesday. He followed it up 24 points, two helpers, and a steal in a 71-55 win over the Jaguars on Saturday.
 
For the week, Warrick averaged 24.5 points per game off an 18-of-28 shooting performance from the field (64.3 percent), which included a mark of 5-of-8 (62.5 percent) from beyond the arc. For his career, Warrick has played in 100 career games and scored 20-plus points in 42 of them.
 
The Lexington, Kentucky native is now slotted fourth in the Horizon in both scoring average (18.5 points per game) and points overall (148). He is also third in the conference in made free throws (30), sixth in made three pointers (18) and ninth in made field goals (50).
 
On the national scene, Warrick is ranked 81st in all of NCAA Division I basketball in points per game, 82nd in total points and 89th in free throw percentage (88.2 percent).
 
The Norse head to Illinois State for a non-conference clash with the Redbirds on Wednesday, December 6 inside CEFCU Arena. Tip is set for 8 PM ET and the game will be played in front of a national audience on ESPN+.
