ASHEVILLE, N.C. – UNC Asheville freshman guard Dylan Smith has been named College Sports Madness' Big South Men's Basketball Player of the Week, the publication announced this morning.
The Mobile, AL native finished with 15-plus points in all three contests dating back to December 29 against Furman, including a 20-point night and the game-winning bucket against the Paladins. Smith also notched 20 points in the Big South Conference road win at Longwood, and collected a total of 56 points on 16-of-39 shooting in the three victories. He hit nine of his 24 three-point attempts and was 15-of-18 from the free throw stripe combined, adding 12 rebounds, four steals, two assists and a block in 81 total minutes of action.
Smith and the Bulldogs are now 10-3 on the season and a perfect 3-0 in Big South Conference play. They continue play on Wednesday night with a 7:00 p.m. contest against conference rival Winthrop at home inside Kimmel Arena. Asheville wraps up the week with a Saturday afternoon contest at Charleston Southern down on the South Carolina coast.
