RENO, Nev. - Nevada sophomore point guard Grant Sherfield was named Mountain West Player of the Week Tuesday for his outstanding performance over the Pack's 4-0 stretch from Sunday, Jan. 31 to Sunday, Feb. 7.

It's Sherfield's first Mountain West weekly honor, and the second for the Pack this season. Guard Desmond Cambridge, Jr. was recognized back on Dec. 21.

Over sweeps of in-state rival UNLV and then-first-place Boise State, Sherfield burnished his Mountain West Player of the Year credentials, averaging 20.5 points, 9.25 assists, and 3.5 rebounds per game, along with an eye-popping assist-to-turnover ratio of 5.29 (37 assists to just seven turnovers). He was nails from the field, posting FG/3FG/FT percentages of 50.0/42.9/92.9 for the week.

Through Feb. 8, Sherfield leads the Mountain West, in conference-only games, in scoring (19.6 ppg), assists per game (6.71 apg), assist-to-turnover ratio (3.13), and free-throw percentage (91.1). He also ranks fifth with 1.50 steals per game.

Sherfield provided the highlight of the week with his game-winner in Friday's series-opening victory over Boise State, hitting a fadeaway in the lane with 2.9 seconds left to lift the Pack to a 74-72 victory. He raised the bar even higher two days later, going for a career-high 29 points along with eight assists and six rebounds as Nevada finished the sweep of the Broncos with a 73-62 win.

The performance capped a week in which Sherfield posted a pair of points-assists double-doubles, going for 15 points and 11 assists in the Jan. 31 win over UNLV, and passing out a career-high 14 assists to go with 20 points in the series-opening win over Boise State.

Nevada (14-7, 9-5 MW), on a season-best four-game winning streak, heads to the Bay Area this weekend for a series at San Jose State. The opener will tip Saturday at 1 p.m. with the finale set for 5 p.m. Monday.
