Murray State's Terrell Miller was named the Ohio Valley Conference Newcomer of the week for men's basketball Monday after a vote by the league's sports information directors.Miller, a junior from Jacksonville, Florida, joined the Racers this season after playing two seasons at Southwest Mississippi Junior College.
In MSU's only game last week, Miller played 33 minutes, scored 21 points at home against Wright State on 6-of-13 shooting from the field and 4-of-8 from the 3-point line. He also hit 5-of-7 from the free throw line. His 21-point & 11-rebound game was his third double-double of the season and the second in the last three games.
