Rutgers-Camden Athletics

Sophomore guard Ian McCarthy had a big week as the Rutgers-Camden men’s basketball team went 1-1 in a pair of games, including a 70-68 victory at Kean University Saturday for its first win of the season. McCarthy averaged 19.0 points and 8.0 rebounds in the two games, while adding two assists, two blocks and one steal. He scored 19 points against both The College of New Jersey (Wednesday) and Kean, tying his career high set on Nov. 20 against Rowan University. He shot a combined 10-for-23 from three-point range, pouring in five treys in each game to tie another career high he set in that Rowan game. In the win over Kean, he added a career-high 12 rebounds to notch his first career double-double. For the season, McCarthy is averaging 10.2 points and 5.0 rebounds. He leads the team with 23 treys, shooting .338 (23-for-68) from long distance.
