Feehan averaged 25 points per game
ST. LOUIS – University of Evansville graduate transfer Shea Feehan has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week in an announcement by the league today.
Feehan averaged 25 points per game while adding four rebounds per contest for the Purple Aces in the last week of action as he reset his Evansville scoring mark in each game. In Tuesday’s game at Arkansas State, Feehan was 6-of-13 from the field while going 4/10 from outside to finish with 21 points.
On Sunday, he erupted for a career-high 29 points in a huge win over Ball State. Trailing by as many as 17 points in the first half, Feehan helped his team embark on a 44-11 run to lead the Aces to an 89-77 win. He hit four more 3-pointers while going 13-of-14 from the line. He was a 90% shooter from the line (18-of-20) and played 36 minutes per game.
“Shea did a great job. Before Sunday’s game, I met with him and asked how we could get him off to better starts,†UE head coach Walter McCarty said. “I asked him what I could do or if there were some plays that he wanted to run. We had a great discussion and it really translated into the game.â€
Feehan and the Aces return home on Saturday to face off against Jacksonville State in a 1 p.m. game.
