Nevada Wolf Pack guard Grant Sherfield was named the Mountain West player of the week after his dominant two-game performance versus Minnesota Duluth and Loyola Marymount, the conference announced Monday.
In those two games last week, Sherfield averaged 26.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 53.3 percent from the floor, 55.6 percent from 3-point range and 93.8 percent from the charity stripe.
Against Minnesota Duluth, a nationally ranked Division-II program, he was one assist shy of Nevada’s first triple double since 1979. The 6-foot-2 guard finished with 28 points, a career-high 12 rebounds, nine assists — shooting 10-of-16 and 5-of-9 from beyond the arc.
