Slick-shooting New Mexico State guard Jahmar Young -- who will lead the Aggies into the Save Mart Center on Thursday against Fresno State -- was named the Western Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week for the week of Feb. 1-7. The honor marks the third career WAC Player of the Week award for Young.

Young, a junior guard from Baltimore, Md. (sorry Fresno, but you know I have to mention his state of birth!), led New Mexico State to a 94-82 win over San Jose State last week. Young scored a team-high 25 points while going on 8-of-13 from the field and 4-of-6 from 3. Young was also 5-of-5 from the free throw line.

Young added five assists, three rebounds and a blocked shot.

Young will be the main offensive threat the Bulldogs face when they host the Aggies on Thursday. Young scored a game-high 26 against the Bulldogs when they first faced-off earlier this season. Right behin him was guard Jonathan Gibson, who had 25 in that game. Combined they were a terrific 17 of 38 from the field.
