ROUNDUP: Teel named MVC Newcomer of Week after first two games with ISU

It didn’t take long for Indiana State senior Samage Teel to make an impact in his first season as a Sycamore.

On Monday, the Missouri Valley Conference named Teel its Newcomer of the Week after the opening week of college hoops.

Teel averaged 20.5 points per game, 2.5 rebounds per game and 3.5 assists per game in 28.5 minutes played between two games on 59.3% shooting from the floor. In ISU’s 97-64 loss to Florida Atlantic on Nov. 4 at Xenia, Ohio, Teel led the Sycamores with a game-high 21 points in his Indiana State debut as the guard hit 8 of 14 from the floor and 5 of 10 from the 3-point line.

He followed that up with a game-high 20-point effort, finishing 8 for 13 from the floor and 4 for 4 from the free-throw line, adding five rebounds and five assists in a 93-48 win over Eureka on Thursday. Teel scored 13 points on 71.4% shooting in the first half putting the Sycamores ahead by 19 heading into the locker room, not to be overdone by his 14-point first half in the season opener against FAU, where he knocked down four 3-pointers in the opening 20 minutes.
