3 years after joining new conference, Tulane has its first basketball player of the week

Following a week where he had three consecutive 20-point games in three Tulane victories, Green Wave junior Melvin Frazier was named the American Athletic Conference Player of the Week on Monday.

Frazier is Tulane's first AAC Player of the Week since the Green Wave joined the conference in 2014-15.

Frazier earned MVP honors at the 2017 Jamaica Classic after Tulane defeated Colorado State on Friday and Fordham on Sunday, and in Tulane's week that also included a Monday win over Southeastern Louisiana, Frazier averaged 23.7 points, 9.7 boards, 4.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game.

The Avondale native shot a blistering 26 for 32 from the field and 9 for 13 from the 3-point line in the Green Wave's three victories.
