Keith Benson named Eurochallenge Week 5 MVP

Keith Benson Jr, who concluded EuroChallenge Week 5 action on Wednesday by gifting Tsmoki Minsk a crucial road win right at the final buzzer, is also this week's Top Statistical Performer.

The scores in the Group H clash between BC Mures and Minsk were tied at 82 and the 25-year-old center had already scored 24 points on 9-of-14 from the floor, corralled 8 rebounds and blocked a season second-best 5 shots when he was fouled with less than a second left on the clock.

Benson, who averages 92.9% from the charity stripe in the EuroChallenge, took his fifth trip to the foul line on the night and sunk both free throws to seal an 84-82 victory for this team.

In addition to sentencing directly the result with his game-winning shots, Benson also registered an efficiency index rating of 36, the highest anywhere in the EuroChallenge in Week 5, with his stellar performance.
