ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. – George Mason University men's basketball sophomore
Keyshawn Hall has been named the Atlantic 10 Co-Player of the Week, the league office announced Monday.
It's the first time the Cleveland, Ohio, product has garnered the weekly accolade. He shares the award this week with Dayton's Nate Santos.
Hall exploded for averages of 23.5 points and 10.0 rebounds while shooting 50 percent from the floor (16-32) in two games for George Mason this past week. He also dished out 2.0 assists/game, made 41.7 percent of his 3-point attempts (5-13) and went 10-of-12 (.833) from the line.
He opened his week in Mason's 90-83 win over top-125 opponent Cornell and tallied career bests in points (29), rebounds (12) and assists (3) while making 11-of-18 field goal attempts. He followed that up with an 18-point, 8-rebound effort in Mason's Sunday game vs. Charlotte.
Through four games, Hall leads the Patriots in scoring (17.0 ppg) and rebounding (10.0 rpg). He ranks eighth nationally in defensive rebounds/game (8.8) and 30th in overall rebounding. He also leads the Atlantic 10 in overall rebounding, defensive rebounding and double-doubles (2) and is sixth in scoring (17.0 ppg).
