Washington’s Shooting Struggles Continue
Tru Washington ended with four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and three steals across 15 minutes during Tuesday’s 83-82 win over Nevada. Washington has been going through a shooting slump as of late, averaging just 3 points per game on just under 28 percent shooting across his last four contests. Despite his recent struggles, the 6-foot-4 freshman leads the Lobos in scoring off the bench with 8.0 points per game. He’ll look to add value off the bench and bounce back from his poor shooting performances Friday when New Mexico takes on San Diego State.
LeDee Dominant in Bounce-Back Win
Jaedon LeDee produced 27 points (10-14 FG, 7-11 FT), six rebounds, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday’s 71-55 win over Colorado State. LeDee took matters into his own hands after San Diego State went into half trailing by 14 points, as he dropped 22 second-half points and doubled Colorado State’s total second-half point total (11 points) in an jaw-dropping comeback. The 6-foot-9 senior leads the Mountain West in points (20.3 per game) while also adding 8.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game through 24 games. LeDee will look to add to his Mountain West Player of the Year campaign as San Diego State takes on New Mexico on Friday.
