MBB | Mahaney Earns 10th WCC Freshman of the Week Award
2/20/2023 10:10:00 AM | Men's Basketball
MORAGA, Calif. — The Aidan Mahaney mania continues with another WCC Freshman of The Week Award for the Gaels' young star.
Aidan Mahaney had a pair of 10+ point performances to help the Gaels stay atop the WCC with just two games remaining. Mahaney scored 13 points in a three-point road win at San Diego, and then played an even bigger role as the Gaels beat BYU at home on Saturday night.
He scored 16 points, including 14 in the second half as the game tightened up. For the week, he averaged 14.5 points per game and shot 45.5% from beyond the arc. With the award win for Mahaney, he now has 10 on the year, tying him with Jalen Suggs of Gonzaga (2020-21) for the most in the history of the award.
The final week of the regular season is about as jam-packed as it can be, with two very different, yet important games. First up is the Gaels only game against the Pacific Tigers this season, on Thursday night at 7:00 pm inside University Credit Union Pavilion.
That game will serve as Senior Night for SMC (final home game of the year). The first 1,000 fans will receive a Corbin Burnes SMC Baseball Gnome and the first 500 fans will receive a Randy Bennett 500 Win T-Shirt, all presented by Common Interest Management.
Then the Gaels head to Spokane for a game that could decide the regular season championship in the WCC, with top-off against No. 12 Gonzaga set for 7:00 pm on Saturday night. That game has also been picked up by ESPN for College Gameday.
