Back-to-back 25-point games led to the selection of Cal State Fullerton junior Tre’ Coggins (San Juan Capistrano, Calif./Air Force) as Big West Men’s Basketball Player of the Week.
The 6-3 guard registered his career-high in consecutive victories over Southern Utah (80-66) and Nevada (75-66), helping the Titans improve to 4-1 on the season and equal their best start since 2007-08.
Coggins shot 45.7 percent (16-of-35) from the field overall and an impressive 52.9 percent (9-for-17) from three-point range for the week.
In the win at Southern Utah, CSF’s second road win this season, Coggins amassed his 25 points on 7-of-14 shooting and knocked down a quintet of three balls, as well as draining six of his nine free throw attempts. He also helped the Titans with seven rebounds and a steal.
The victory over Nevada was keyed by another four three-pointers from Coggins, who scored eight of the team’s first 10 points in the second half to stake the Titans to a lead they would never relinquish.
Coggins padded his stat line against the Wolf Pack with four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 30 minutes.
