Morgan State's Burke Named HBCU All-Stars Spotlight National Player of the Week

Morgan State's Isaiah Burke was named the HBCU All-Stars National Spotlight Player of the Week for leading the Bears to a 2-0 week from Jan. 8-14

Burke scored 30 points in a 90-85 home victory against South Carolina State and followed that with another 30-point outburst in a huge 83-66 road win over crosstown rival Coppin State. In those two games, Burke averaged 3.5 assists per game and shot 48% from the floor, 55% on 3-pointers and 81% from the free throw line.

In fact, Burke has scored at least 30 in three straight games after his 31-point effort on Wednesday in a win over Hartford.

Burke, a senior from Bowie, Md., is on the Curly Neal Point Guard Watch List for the 2023 HBCU All-Star Game, to be held April 4 in Houston and broadcast on CBS.
