Ritchart honored

(from Ritchart's prep days)

From the Big West Conference:

Senior Josh Ritchart (Auburn, Calif./Forest Lake Christian HS) stepped into the primary scorer’s role to lead UC Davis to a pair of conference road wins and garner the Big West Men’s Basketball Player of the Week award.

Ritchart, the team’s No. 2 scorer at 13.2 points per game, impacted both wins against UC Irvine (75-56) and CSUN (68-55) as he filled in admirably for the nation’s No. 1 3-point shooter and No. 6 scorer, Corey Hawkins, who was unavailable for both contests.

The 6-9 guard/forward averaged 21.5 points and 4.5 rebounds while shooting 70.8 percent (17-of-24) overall and 60 percent (6-of-10) from three, helping the Aggies leave southern California all alone in first place with a Big West record of 8-1.

Ritchart scored a game-high 22 points on 10-of-11 shooting against the Anteaters, including 2 of 3 from three-point range.

He notched another game-high in scoring with 21 points versus the Matadors.  Ritchart canned four 3-pointers (in seven attempts), including a crucial one with 1:43 remaining that extended the Aggie lead to nine and sealed the victory.  It was his third consecutive 20-point game and sixth of the season.
