He has scored 20 or more points in a game nine times this season and 19 points in five other games, including a career-high 30 points against DePaul.
The honor is the third MVC postseason accolade of Timmer's career. As a freshman he was named to the MVC All-Newcomer and All-Freshman teams. Throughout the course of this season, he has been named the MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week a league-high five times.
Timmer and the Bulldogs begin MVC Tournament play on Thursday, March 3, as the No. 10 seed against seventh-seeded Missouri State. Tipoff is set for 8:30 p.m. at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Mo.
