Seasiders' Smylie is PacWest player of week

Brigham Young-Hawaii senior Austin Smylie was named as the Pacific West Conference's basketball player of the week after leading the Seasiders to three wins last week.

The forward from Salt Lake City averaged 28 points and 9.3 rebounds in two wins over Hawaii-Hilo and one victory over Florida Gulf Coast.

He shot .652 (30-for-46) from the field, .545 (6-for-11) from 3-point range and .720 (18-for-25) from the free-throw line. He also had five assists, two blocks, five steals and two turnovers.

Smylie has been player of the week three times previously this season.
