MATT NESTHEIDE OF
CENTRE COLLEGE, a 6-0, 170-pound junior guard from
Edgewood, Ky., has been selected the SCAC Men's
Basketball Player-of-the-Week for games played from Monday, January 1
through Sunday, January 7.
Nestheide led Centre to two SCAC road victories last week,
averaging 26.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.0 steals in
the two games. In the Colonels' 76-57 win over Oglethorpe,
Nestheide scored a game-high 26 points with three rebounds,
three steals and two assists. Two days later in an 80-68 win over
Sewanee, he scored a season-high 27 points with three rebounds,
three assists and a steal. Nestheide had one of his best
shooing weekends of the year, making 16 of his 24 attempts (66.7%)
from the floor, including eight of 14 (57.1%) from beyond the
three-point line and 13 of 17 (76.5%) from the charity stripe. The
two games were his third and fourth 20+ efforts of the year and his
27 points were only two points shy of his career-high of 29, which
he set last year. Currently, Nestheide leads Centre averaging
16.6 points (sixth in the SCAC), 3.9 assists (second in the SCAC)
and 1.4 steals per game (13th in the SCAC).
