IRVINE, Calif. — Latrell Wrightsell Jr. has been named The Big West Player of the Week for men's basketball, the conference announced Monday.
Wrightsell Jr. poured in 26 points, including the game-winning three-pointer with 3.8 seconds left, during Fullerton's dramatic 62-61 home win over UC Irvine last Thursday. The junior guard shot 57% from the floor, going 5-of-7 from deep, while adding five rebounds and a steal against the Anteaters.
During the Titans' convincing 65-36 road win over Cal Poly on Saturday, Wrightsell Jr. filled the stat sheet with 10 points, four rebounds, three assists and a steal.
Through 20 games this season, Wrightsell Jr. is averaging 16.0 points per contest, good for fifth in The Big West. He leads the conference in three-pointers per game with 2.6 and three-point percentage with a .398 clip. He also ranks sixth in the conference in steals per game with 1.6.
This marks the second time this season Wrightsell Jr. has received Big West Player of the Week honors.
