From NYU Athletics

Evan Kupferberg of  the New York University men's basketball team was named Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Metro Player of the Week on Tuesday, February 11.

The sophomore led the Violets (15-5, 5-4 University Athletic Association) to two home victories last weekend at the Coles Sports Center in Manhattan. NYU defeated Carnegie Mellon University 92-86 in overtime on Friday night, February 7, and followed it up with a 79-74 victory over Case Western Reserve University on Sunday afternoon, February 9.

Kupferberg registered 27 points and seven rebounds, both of which tied for the game-high honors and stood alone as team-highs, during the Violets' win over the Tartans on Friday. In addition, he registered his eighth double-double of the season when he scored a team-high 25 points and pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds in a career-best 38 minutes during the win over the Spartans.

The 6-foot-6, Boca Raton, FL, native now leads NYU in both scoring (18.3 points-per-game) and rebounding (9.5 rebounds-per-game), and ranks second in the Association in both categories.
