ST. LOUIS – University of Evansville junior Evan Kuhlman has been named a 2020 Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Honorable Mention in an announcement by the league on Thursday.
 
Kuhlman is playing the best basketball of his Purple Aces career.  He has made the start in each of the last 11 games, posting 9.5 points and 4.5 rebounds while playing 30.7 minutes per game over that span.
 
Those numbers have eclipsed his season averages, which stand at 5.0 PPG, 2.9 RPG and 18.2 minutes.  On February 16 at Drake, Kuhlman had the top game of his career, scoring 17 points while hitting five of his nine 3-point tries.  In the home game against SIU, Kuhlman recorded a career mark of seven blocks, just one shy of the program record. 
 
He has six double digit games in his last nine outings; he did not score more than seven points in his first 15 contests.  In the classroom, the native of Liberty Township, Ohio is a Finance major with a 3.22 GPA.
