GREELEY, Colo. – Northern Colorado men's basketball guard Quinn Denker has been selected as the November Student-Athlete of the Month, presented by Sexy Sammies, after a standout opening stretch that has propelled the Bears to their best start since the 2018-19 season.
Denker has been nothing short of exceptional in the first month of the year, accounting for 28 percent of UNC's total points while filling the stat sheet with 146 points, 52 assists and 30 rebounds. The graduate guard has produced with impressive efficiency, shooting 50.5% from the field, 34.9% from three, and 83.3% at the free-throw line.
His playmaking and scoring have been central to Northern Colorado's early surge, highlighted by a breakout weekend at the Portland Invitational, where his performances earned him Big Sky Men's Basketball Player of the Week honors.
