MSU's Frey Collects #BigSkyMBB Ready Nutrition Player of the Week Accolades
FARMINGTON, Utah (November 19, 2019) – After guiding Montana State to three wins and a tournament title at UNC Greensboro’s Spartan Invitational, senior guard Harald Frey has been named the Big Sky Men’s Basketball Ready Nutrition Player of the Week.
On the week, Frey averaged 13.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game in wins over Appalachian State, UNC Greensboro and Tennessee Tech.
The highlight of the week for the Oslo, Norway native was his buzzer-beating three-pointer from beyond half court to propel Montana State to a 67-66 victory over host UNC Greensboro. Frey’s shot was featured as the No. 1 play on SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays on Saturday. The Bobcats became just the third team to win at UNCG in the last three seasons.
Frey opened the week with a team-high 16 points – 10 in the second half – in a 59-56 victory over Appalachian State on Friday. He also added six rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block in 38 minutes of action.
In the win over UNCG, Frey totaled 14 points, seven rebounds and seven assists while playing all 40 minutes.
He closed out the week with a 12-point performance in a 52-39 win over Tennessee Tech on Sunday that also included five assists, four rebounds and two steals in 37 minutes of court time.
Frey shot 40 percent (12-of-30) from the field on the week including a 38 percent clip (6-of-16) from behind the arc while shooting 10-of-11 from the charity stripe.
The Big Sky weekly honor is the second of his career after first earning accolades on Dec. 11, 2018.
