Lamb collects his fourth conference weekly award of the season and shares the honor with Hartford's J.R. Lynch. He averaged close to a double-double with 18.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks per game. He posted an impressive 65.0% (13-for-20) field goal percentage and guided the Cats to a 2-0 week.
 
In the non-conference finale against Dartmouth, the Rochester, New York native recorded his second double-double of the season with a game-high 21 points and 14 rebounds. He hit 9-of-14 attempts from the field and swatted away a career-high six shots. He also became the 12th player in school history to surpass the 1,000-career point mark as a junior or sooner.  
 
The 6-6 forward opened America East play with a game-high 16 points in an 80-51 rout of UAlbany on Saturday. He made 4-of-6 attempts on the night, including two from long range, and pulled down four rebounds.
