The sophomore earns the honor after recording three consecutive double-doubles, including in the win over then-No. 23 SDSU
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State sophomore David Roddy has been named the Mountain West Player of the Week, the league announced today. It is the first weekly honor from the conference in his career.
Roddy was instrumental in last week's efforts for the Rams as they opened Mountain West play with two games each against Fresno State and at then-No. 23 San Diego State, going 3-1 to match the best start in CSU's history in the league. Coming into the week shooting just 43.5 percent from the field and 21.4 percent on threes to go with 15.3 points and 8.3 rebounds in the first four games, Roddy upped his numbers to 16.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists a game on 55.0 percent FG shooting and 45.5 percent from the arc in this week's opening conference games.
After having just two double-doubles last season, the Minneapolis, Minn., native posted three consecutive double-doubles. In the sweep over Fresno State, Roddy had 19 points and tied a career-high with 13 rebounds in the opener Dec. 28 and followed it up with 17 points, 12 rebounds and three assists in the Dec. 30 win over the Bulldogs. In the historic comeback over the Aztecs, Roddy led the Rams to just their second win in Viejas since 2003-04 with 15 points and 12 rebounds on 63.6 percent (7-of-11) from the field. He then had 15 points, hitting 4-of-7 from the floor, and five rebounds in the week's finale.
The Rams return home to quickly host UNLV on Thursday, Jan. 7 and Saturday, Jan. 9. The games will be televised nationally, with the Jan. 7 game on CBS Sports Network at 6 p.m. MT and the contest on the 9th on FS1 at 2 p.m. The audio will be on the Colorado State Sports Radio Network (along with online at CSURams.com), with Brian Roth and Adam Nigon on the call. CSU Sports Network broadcasts can be also accessed on mobile devices through the TuneIn app (free on all Apple, Android, Windows, Blackberry and Amazon Kindle devices) – once downloaded, search "Colorado St. Rams Sports Network" in the app for the games and coaches' show broadcasts.
