LOGAN, Utah – After posting a pair of career scoring highs while helping his team improve to 5-0 with a pair of wins last week, Utah State men's basketball sophomore guard Mason Falslev was named the Mountain West Player of the Week. 
 
Falslev is coming off of one of the strongest statistical weeks of his career. In both wins, he matched his career high of 25 points, the second and third times he's hit that mark. In Utah State's 95-83 win over Montana, Falslev went for 25 points, three rebounds, a block and a career-high five steals. He followed that with the first double-double of his career in the team's 77-69 win over Iowa, totaling 25 points, a career-high 12 rebounds, three assists, a block and a steal. 
 
On the week, Falslev shot 62.5 percent (20-of-32) from the floor, 62.5 percent (5-of-8) from 3-point range and 83.3 percent (5-of-6) at the free throw line. In the two games, he averaged 25.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 blocks and 3.5 steals per contest. 
 
This is the first MW Player of the Week honor of Falslev's career. 
 
Falslev and the Aggies are back in action this week, as they travel to Orlando, Florida, for the NIT Season Tip-Off at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. There, the team faces St. Bonaventure on Thursday, Nov. 28, at 3:30 p.m. (MT) on ESPN2. The following day, USU will play either Northern Iowa or North Texas at the same location.
