NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Rhode Island senior Jared Terrell was chosen as the Atlantic 10 Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, while Richmond freshman Grant Golden was selected the league’s Rookie of the Week. The awards, announced Monday are for games played Nov. 20-26.
Terrell scored a career-high 32 points and had the game-winning basket with five seconds remaining to carry Rhode Island past No. 20/22 Seton Hall in the opening game of the NIT Season Tip-Off. The forward from Weymouth, Mass., was a perfect 10-for-10 at the free throw line, 4-of-6 (.667) from 3-point range and 9-of-17 (.529) from the floor in the win. He followed that up with 11 points, six assists and two steals the next night against No. 25 Virginia. For the week, he averaged 21.5 points, 3.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game, was 6-for-8 (.750) from 3-point range and 11-for-11 (1.000) from the free throw line over two games. He was named to the NIT Season Tip-Off All-Tournament Team.
Golden averaged 19.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in four games during the week, all while shooting 59 percent from the field. He scored 26 points on Monday, doubling his previous career high of 13 points, and then nearly matched that twice with 24-point outputs on Wednesday and Saturday. The forward from Winchester, Va., also shot 58.9 percent for the week, hitting 71.4 percent of his shots (10-of-14) against Louisiana and 10-or -15 (.667) versus Georgetown. In one week, Golden had his first 3 career 20-point games, his first career double-double (24 points, 10 rebounds vs. Georgetown), and made the All-Tournament Team at the Cayman Islands Classic.
