Honor is the second of the season for Pozzato
ST.LOUIS – For the second time this season, University of Evansville men’s basketball forward Gabriel Pozzato has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman of the Week.
In two games over the last week, Pozzato averaged 17.0 points and a team-high 6.5 rebounds per game. Pozzato added a total of eight assists and a pair of steals while playing 77 out of a possible 80 minutes.
Against UIC, Pozzato scored 13 points while picking up six boards and five assists. He followed that up with a 21-point game in the win at Valparaiso while tying his career mark with seven boards.
