The Big East Conference announced on Monday morning that Georgetown Hoyas guard Rodney Pryor and Marquette Golden Eagles forward Sam Hauser are the first recipients of the conference’s Player and Freshman of the Week honors for the 2016-17 season.
Both Pryor and Hauser excelled in victories for their respective teams over the weekend. Pryor, a former Robert Morris Colonials hooper, was dialed in during his debut for the Hoyas as he scored 32 points in their victory over USC Upstate. He shot 13-for-16 from the field including a remarkable 6-for-8 from the 3-point line. Pryor added a rebound to his line and committed just one turnover in 30 minutes of action.
