PROVO — BYU junior guard Matt Carlino was named the West Coast Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week on Monday. This is Carlino's first player of the week award this year and BYU's fourth of the season.
Carlino helped the Cougars to a 2-0 record last week with home victories over Gonzaga and Portland. In those two games, he averaged 22.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.5 steals while hitting .552 from the field, .526 on 3-pointers and .750 from the free-throw line.
In Saturday's win over the Pilots, Carlino tied a career high with 30 points and set a new career high with eight threes.
The Cougars are currently 20-10 overall and in second place in the West Coast Conference at 12-5.
The Cougars have one game remaining before the WCC Tournament in Las Vegas. BYU will be in San Diego on Saturday to face the Toreros at Jenny Craig Pavilion. The game can be heard on KSL Newsradio 102.7 FM/1160 AM, beginning with pregame coverage at 1 p.m. and tipoff at 2 p.m. MT.
