Northern Colorado men’s basketball guard Quinn Denker has been named the November Student-Athlete of the Month, an award presented by Sexy Sammies. This recognition comes after Denker’s significant contributions during the season’s opening month, which have helped lead the Bears to their best start since 2018-19.

Denker was responsible for 28 percent of the team’s total points in November. He recorded 146 points, 52 assists, and 30 rebounds over this period. The graduate guard maintained shooting percentages of 50.5% from the field, 34.9% from beyond the arc, and 83.3% at the free-throw line.

His performance was particularly notable during a weekend at the Portland Invitational, where his play led to him being named Big Sky Men’s Basketball Player of the Week.
