Junior forward Cameron Downs averaged 19.0 points and nine rebounds over three games last week for the Rutgers-Camden men’s basketball team, which tied a program record with a 5-0 start before losing its first game at Swarthmore on Saturday. Downs had his season high of 24 points in a win over Alvernia on Nov. 19 and collected his first double-double of the season with 16 points and 13 boards in a win at Hunter on Nov. 21. In the Swarthmore game he scored 17 points, while adding seven rebounds, two steals and one block.

His early-season output has raised his career scoring total to 905 points as he bids to become the 15th player in program history to reach the 1,000-point milestone.
