INDIANAPOLIS - Green Bay junior guard Rahmon Fletcher has been named the Horizon League Men's Basketball Player of the Week for the week ending Feb. 21. It is Fletcher's third weekly award of the season, tying him with Butler's Gordon Hayward for the most in the League.
A native of Kansas City, Mo., Fletcher averaged 19.5 points, 3.0 assists and 2.5 steals to lead the Phoenix to a pair of wins last week. He scored 17 points in a key League victory over Cleveland State (74-57) on Wednesday and then had 22 points and four assists in a 60-59 win over Indiana State in BracketBusters on Saturday. His driving lay-up with 11 seconds left proved to be the game-winner against ISU as Green Bay led for less than two minutes of the game.
Fletcher currently ranks third in the Horizon League in both scoring (16.3 ppg) and steals (1.8 spg). In conference games only, he tops the League with 16.7 points per game.
Green Bay (19-10, 10-6 Horizon League) enters the final week of the regular season in third place in the League standings, just one game behind Wright State for second place and a bye to the League tournament semifinals. The Phoenix needs just one more win to post the program's first consecutive 20-win seasons since doing so three straight years from 1993-94 to 1995-96.
