Senior guard Jaelan Sanford has been named Mid-American Conference West Division Co-Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday. Sanford's honor marks the first time this season a Rocket has received the weekly accolade and the second time he has received the weekly award in his UT career.
Sanford earned Tournament Most Valuable Player honors after leading Toledo to the Gulf Coast Showcase title last week. Sanford averaged a team-high 17.7 points per game to go along with 5.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. He also shot 50 percent from the field (22-of-44) and 50 percent (6-of-12) from three-point range.
