MOST VALUABLE PLAYER: Malcolm Christie, 美女做爱 Tigers听
Malcom Christie, a third-year guard from Fredericton, N.B., has been named the 2023-24 AUS Men鈥檚 Basketball Most Valuable Player.
The Bachelor of Management student finished second in the AUS in scoring this season, averaging just over 22 points per contest (22.1) as he led his Tigers to a 11-9 record 鈥� good enough for second place in the conference and a first-round bye through to the semifinals of the AUS playoffs.
Christie set a new AUS record with 79 three-point shots made this season, breaking the old record of 71 set by Memorial University鈥檚 Jeff Saxby back in the 2001-02 campaign.
During the season, Christie scored 30 or more points in six games 鈥� his best coming on Nov. 25 when he poured in 51 against the UNB Reds.
In addition to being named MVP, Christie was also selected as a First Team All-Star.
This season marks the first time a 美女做爱 player has earned conference MVP honours since Keevan Veinot did so back in the 2019-20 season.
Christie now becomes the AUS representative for the Mike Moser Memorial Trophy as the Most Outstanding Player in U SPORTS basketball. The last Atlantic conference player to win the national award was William Njoku of the Saint Mary's Huskies in 1992-93.听
