Gorosito Named MAC Player of the Week
December 16, 2024 | Men's Basketball
Junior Guard Made Seven 3-Pointers in Win at Bellarmine Saturday
MAC Press Release
Juanse Gorosito has been named the Mid-American Conference Player of the Week, the MAC office announced Monday afternoon.
Gorosito hit seven 3-pointers on his way to 21 points on Saturday afternoon at Bellarmine while adding four assists, three rebounds and three steals to lead the Cardinals to an 86-82 win over the Knights.
The junior guard buried four triples in the first half including one with three seconds before the buzzer to lift Ball State to a 47-42 halftime edge.
Gorosito has made at least three 3-pointers in each of the last six games, going 27-for-45 (60 percent) from distance in that time to increase his season shooting percentage to 50 percent (34-68).
Gorosito is second in the conference in 3-pointers made and leads the league in shooting percentage from distance among those who have made at least two 3-pointers per game.
The seven triples Gorosito drilled were one shy of tying a Ball State single-game record. The Argentina native averages 11.2 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.
This is Ball State's second weekly honor of the season from the MAC office after Jermahri Hill was named the Co-Player of the Week on Dec. 2.
The Cardinals return home to host Evansville at 2 p.m. on Saturday in what will be the first home game since Nov. 20.
