DENTON — North Texas sophomore guard Jason Edwards was named the American Athletic Conference Player of the Week on Monday.
Edwards helped lead the Mean Green to a pair of league wins in the conference's opening week. He poured in a conference-leading 54 total points over the two games (27.0 ppg) and sank 10 3-pointers over the two games. Edwards most notably scored 37 points on Saturday versus Tulane in UNT's 70-56 shorthanded win.
Edwards made his first eight 3-point attempts on Saturday and finished the game 8-of-10 from deep.
His 37 points scored and eight made 3-pointers are both the most in a single-game this season by an AAC player in any competition.
