BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Eastern Illinois guard Kinyon Hodges was named the Ohio Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week following his efforts in the Panthers two home games this past week against SIUE and Little Rock.
 
Hodges averaged 21 points per game as he led the Panthers in scoring in both contests.  He opened with 19 points on Thursday against SIUE going 7-of-7 from the foul line.   On Saturday he posted his third 20-plus point performance this season with 23 points in the win over Little Rock.  For the week Hodges shot 48.4 percent from the field adding 4.5 rebounds per game.  He had two assists, two steals and one blocked shot.
