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).
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
The Cardinals return home to host Evansville at 2 p.m. on Saturday in what will be the first home game since Nov. 20.
