LaBelle did a little bit of everything and broke a CSAC record while leading the Cyclones to three wins and the top seed in the CSAC this week. The junior guard averaged 20 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game last week. In Monday's win over Saint Elizabeth, LaBelle contributed 22 points and eight assists. He was 10-for-13 from the foul line in that game and late in the second half broke the CSAC record for single-season free throws when he hit his 169th free throw of the season. In Wednesday's win at Keystone, LaBelle recorded 17 points and 10 rebounds for his third double-double of the season. He also added seven assists and helped the Cyclones force two key turnovers in the final seconds of a close game. LaBelle then scored 19 of his game-high 21 points to lead the Cyclones to the come from behind win over Cairn. LaBelle's 60 points this week allowed him to become the third player in program history to score at least 500 points in a single-season at Centenary. The win over Carin allowed the Cyclones to tie the 1996 team for the most wins in single-season history (17) and extend the win streak to seven games, which is the longest in program history.Â
