MBB: Senior Rich Douglas gets “MAC Play of the Week” honors

Senior guard Rich Douglas received his first nod of any kind on the court with a “MAC Play of the Week” honor for a behind the back pass to senior Tim O’Shea.

In his first career start King’s College senior Rich Douglas grabbed an offensive rebound and then proceeded to throw a no-look behind the back pass from his knees to Tim O’Shea who scored a layup. O’Shea’s bucket gave King’s a 51-38 lead with 12:52 left in the game over Manhattanville College in the Monarch’s 78-63 win on January 24, 2015. #MACPlayOfTheWeek #d3sports #d3h #GoMonarchs #basketball
