Cal Poly junior guard Lorenzo Keeler was named Big West Conference Player of the Week on Monday after averaging 22 points, four rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in the Mustangs’ two road victories over UC Davis and Pacific last week.
Keeler helped propel Cal Poly (5-12, 2-5 Big West Conference) to its first conference victory of the year over Pacific scoring a career-high 25 points in the Mustangs’ 76-60 win last Thursday.
He followed up that effort two nights later with a team-high 19 points, two rebounds and three assists against UC Davis. Keeler scored 15 points in the first half, helping to keep the Mustangs close.
Cal Poly would eventually go on a 23-5 run to overtake the Aggies in the final minute of the game and held on for a 77-75 win.
Keeler shot 56.5 percent from the field during the week and made all 13 of his free throw attempts.
The Mustangs’ return to action at 6 p.m. Saturday when they host Cal State Northridge in a matchup nationally televised by Fox Sports Network-Prime Ticket.
