Led Eagles with school-record 42 points in MAC Tournament double-overtime loss to Akron
CLEVELAND, Ohio – Eastern Michigan University senior point guard Carlos Medlock (Detroit, Mich.-Murray Wright) was named to the 2010 FirstEnergy Mid-American Conference All-Tournament Team after scoring a school-MAC Tournament record 42 points in the Eagles' 97-89 double-overtime loss to the University of Akron in the tournament quarterfinal round Thursday, March 11, at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.
Joining Medlock on the All-Tournament Team were Ohio's Armon Bassett, David Kool-Western Michigan, along with Jimmy Conyers and Chris McKnight from Akron. Bassett was also voted MVP of the tourney.
Medlock, who was named second-team All-MAC earlier in the week, turned in a spectacular performance in the quarterfinal against Akron, hitting 13-of-26 field goals, 5-of-14 three pointers, and 11-of-12 free throws for 42 points while hauling down eight rebounds, adding three assists and two steals and playing 48 minutes. His 42 points broke the EMU record for most points in a MAC Tournament game held by Earl Boykins who had 35 points (March 3, 1998 vs. Ball State). Medlock's 11 made free throws broke Boykins' EMU tourney mark of 10 set, March 5, 1996 against Kent State.
For the year, Medlock led the Eagles in scoring (16.9), three pointers made (75), free throws made (173) assists (121) and steals (50) while playing 35.2 minutes per game for the Eagles, 17-15 overall and 8-8 in MAC play, good for a tie for second in the West Division.
