A standout performance at the Cancun Challenge has earned
Erik Stevenson a spot on this week's American Athletic Conference Honor Roll, the league announced Monday.
Â
Stevenson – a 6-foot-3 sophomore from Lacey, Wash. -- averaged 20.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals and made the Cancun Challenge all-tournament team. He put up 19 points – all in the first half – in a rout of South Carolina and matched his career-high with 22 points in the championship game against West Virginia.
Â
It's the first weekly award of Stevenson's career. He's the third different Shocker to make the honor roll this year, joining
Dexter Dennis (Nov. 11) and
Jamarius Burton (Nov. 18).
Â
Stevenson leads the Shockers in scoring (13.6 ppg) and assists (3.3) and ranks sixth nationally in assist-to-turnover ratio (4.60).
Â
Wichita State (6-1) returns to action Thursday night against Central Arkansas at Charles Koch Arena (7 p.m. CT, YurView Kansas) then travels to Oklahoma State this Sunday (1 p.m., ESPNU).
