Miller Earns WCC Honors
Dec. 26, 2006 Los Angeles, CA (Dec. 26) -- After playing just 10 games in his first two years at Loyola Marymount, fifth-year senior Adoyah Miller entered 2006-07 with one last shot. He is making the most of it, scoring 43 points in two games last week to earn the West Coast Conference Player of the Week on Dec. 26. The transfer from Miami Dade College played 10 games and scored just 53 points in his first two injury plagued seasons. However, he has caught fire of late, earning his first two 20-point games of his career last week. In a win over Boise State in double overtime and a heartbreaking buzzer beater defeat to Long Beach State, Miller averaged 21.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists with two blocks and two steals. In the win over Boise State, he hit 6-of-9 three-pointers to score 23 points, including a long ball with less than 40 seconds to play to send the game to the first overtime. He added six rebounds and eight assists in that win. Against Long Beach State he went for 20 points, hitting 3-for-7 from long range, adding another six boards. Miller has gone for double digits in nine of the Lions last 10 games, averaging 12.6 points per contest in that span. The Lions head out to their final games of non-conference play when they face Akron on Dec. 29 at 5 p.m. (PST) They then head to Monmouth on Dec. 31. Both games will be on Lions' All-Access.
