(#2, Jr, G - Pflugerville, Texas)
 
Asberry averaged 20.5 points per game this week in the Bobcats’ two-game sweep over West Division power Little Rock on the road. The junior guard shot 59.3% from the field hitting 50% of his 3-pointers (8-16). Asberry scored 18 points in the series opener then followed with 23 points (his third 20+ point game of the season) and a career-high five 3-pointers (5-6) in the second game.

This season, the 12 Sun Belt schools are split into a West Division and an East Division and play divisional opponents during the regular season to minimize travel amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
