Riley Lupfer | Women's Basketball | Sophomore | Spokane, Wash.
Lupfer earned Mountain West Player of the Week honors for the second time this season as she delivered two game-changing performances as Boise State overcame a pair of seven-point halftime deficits to pick up wins over Fresno State (75-66) and at San Diego State (86-70), improving to 10-7 overall and 4-2 in Mountain West play. She averaged 27.0 points over the two wins, scoring 26 Wednesday against the Bulldogs and matching her career high of 28 Saturday at San Diego State, and was deadly from deep, going a combined 13-for-21 (61.9 percent) from 3-point range, including a career high-tying seven against the Aztecs. She shot 61.3 percent (19-for-31) overall from the field for the week.
Usually @rileylupfer2 hits 3s, but in this case, it's a 2 as she earns her 2nd @MountainWest Player of the Week honor of the season! #BleedBlue

Chandler Hutchison | Men's Basketball | Senior | Mission Viejo, Calif.
The Mission Viejo, Calif., native was named Mountain West Player of the Week and U.S. Basketball Writers Association National Player of the Week after averaging 32.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in two games last week with wins at Fresno State and at home against San Diego State. The week, of course, was highlighted by Hutchison's 44 points against the Aztecs which was a Boise State single-game scoring record. He scored 25 of his 44 points in the first half - the most points in a half by a Boise State player since Derrick Marks scored 26 points in the second half against Colorado State (Jan. 27, 2015). He scored the team's first 16 points of the game, as well.
More good news for @HutchIsClutch15!! #BleedBlue
