JONTRELL HERMAN OF JOHNSON & WALES (DENVER), a senior guard from Duck Hill, Miss., has been named the SCAC Men’s Basketball Player of the Week for games played from Monday, November 12 through Sunday, November 18.

The Mississippi native averaged 32.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists to lead Johnson & Wales to wins over Wisconsin-River Falls and Iowa Wesleyan on Friday and Saturday at the Tiger Tip-Off Tournament at Colorado College. A product of Castle View High School in Castle Rock, Colo., Herman knocked down 7-of-12 attempts from the 3-point line (58.3 percent) in the two games while shooting 55.0 percent from the floor. 
 
Herman opened the season by matching a career high with 34 points in an 85-81 win over UWRF on Friday, following that up with a 31-point effort the next day in a 95-73 win over Iowa Wesleyan.

Other outstanding performances in the SCAC:
Sophomore guard Kam Hogan of Austin College stuffed the stat sheet, averaging 19.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, and 1.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks-per-game while shooting 50.0 percent (15-30) from the field to lead the Roos to a 1-1 mark last week. In the win over Hendrix, Hogan poured in 27 points and grabbed three rebounds.

The Wyoming native scored 13 points and 11 rebounds in the 81-68 season-opening victory over Iowa Wesleyan for his 11th career double-double. Junior guard Ryan Wheeler led Southwestern to a 2-1 record to open the season, the third time since 2010-11 the Pirates have won two of their opening three contests. Wheeler averaged 13.3 points on 12-for-27 shooting (44.4%) and collected 2.7 rebounds per contest. In the 30-point win over Howard Payne, Wheeler scored a season-high 19 points and reached double-figures in points for all three contests last week. Sophomore shooting guard Sebastian Andrade of Texas Lutheran led the Bulldogs in both contests this weekend at the ASC/SCAC Classic in Marshall, Texas.
