Bing Named Conference USA Player of the Week
February 23, 2004 | Men's Basketball
Bing is just the second player to earn the weekly honor since ECU joined Conference USA in 2001-02. Fellow senior Gabriel Mikulas earned the accolade once last season.
Bing helped East Carolina to home wins last week over Tulane and TCU, averaging a double of 15.0 points and 12.0 rebounds per game. He opened the week on Feb. 18 against the Green Wave with 12 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in ECU's 76-66 victory. Bing followed that performance with an 18-point, 15-rebound outing versus the Horned Frogs this past Saturday. His 15 rebounds against TCU were a season-high. Bing's double-doubles were the fifth and sixth of the season and the 24th and 25th of his career, third most among active players.
His 15-rebound performance against TCU propelled him into second place on the East Carolina all-time rebounding list with 907 career boards.
