Nevada's Lindsey Drew named the Mountain West player of the week

Nevada point guard Lindsey Drew, who had a historic week, was honored Monday by the Mountain West.

Drew was named the conference's player of the week after averaging 27 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game in a loss to Utah and a win over Loyola Marymount.

Returning from a torn Achilles and double hip surgery, Drew was played his first games in 680 days. Against Utah, he tallied 30 points, eight assists, six rebounds and five made 3-pointers without turning the ball over, becoming the first player to do that in college basketball in a decade. In the win over Loyola Marymount, Drew scored 24 points with nine rebounds and seven assists.

For the week, Drew made 59.4 percent of his shots, including 43.8 percent of his 3-pointers. Drew has scored or assisted on 84 of Nevada's 146 points.

The Wolf Pack returns to action Tuesday when it hosts Texas-Arlington before hosting USC on Saturday.
