Men's Players of the Week
Elias Harris, GON
Harris averaged 25.5 ppg, 11.0 rpg, shot 63.6 percent from the field (13-20) and had 4 blocks as Gonzaga went on road and defeated Saint Mary's and San Diego to open WCC play 3-0 with three straight road victories...scored season-high 31 points and grabbed 13 rebounds for third double-double of year in 89-82 win at Saint Mary's, then came back with 20 points and 9 rebound at USD. The 31 points was first Gonzaga 30-point game since Adam Morrison scored 35 in 2006 NCAA Tournament first-round game against Xavier...went 13-for-20 from field against the Gaels, 8-for-13 at USD.

Lorne Jackson, PEP
Jackson averaged 18.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists as Pepperdine defeated both Santa Clara and San Francisco and improved to 3-0 in the WCC for the first time since 2002 (the last time Pepperdine won part of the WCC title). He was Pepperdine's high scorer in both games. He had a career-high 21 points, tied his career high with six rebounds and had three assists in the win against San Francisco. Two days earlier, he led Pepperdine with 15 points and five assists in a one-point win over Santa Clara. He also made a key defensive play at the end by stripping the Broncos' ball-handler as time expired. Over the two games, Jackson shot 60% from the field (9-for-15), 60% on three-pointers (6-for-10) and 92% on free throws (12-for-13). He played 71 of a possible 80 minutes. For the season, Jackson is averaging 8.9 points, 2.9 assists and 2.8 rebounds.

the poy discussion will be very interesting...reward harris for his dominance or reward bouldin for his career and leadership? if st.mary's manages to beat us, samhan could also come into play.

nice to see pepp at 3-0...was expecting lmu to be the most improved but they've taken a little step back, though their best player, drew viney, transfer from oregon, hasn't played recently (injured?).

Players of the Week. Sorry, Angelo but your title was a bit misleading if only unintentional. Good for Harris. He certainly proved himself worthy if only for the week. Naturally, my instinct is to look at the Beast's numbers and say. Harris did win in a team matchup. With USD's almost non-existent front court, I wonder what the Beast might do this week in a single tilt.

Is there some reason this award is shared every week it seems?

Thanks Amigo. Fixed.
