North Dakota State guard Mike Felt was named Summit League men's basketball Player of the Week by the league office on Monday, Jan. 10.
Felt, a freshman from Redwood Falls, Minn., shot 11-for-17 from the 3-point line and 10-for-10 at the free-throw line in a pair of home wins last weekend over Oral Roberts and Centenary.
Felt scored a career-high 22 points in Thursday's 80-74 win over Oral Roberts. He was 4-for-6 from the arc and made eight straight free throws in the final 65 seconds to seal the win.
Felt was 7-for-11 from the 3-point line and scored a game-high 21 points in Saturday's 76-60 win over Centenary. He tied the NDSU single-game record for most 3's made in a game held by five other players.
Felt tied the NDSU single-game record for free-throw percentage going 10-for-10 against ORU. He scored 16 points in the second half, including a personal 8-0 run midway through after the Bison went behind 52-51.
It was the first career award for Felt, who entered the week averaging 3.5 points per game and 9-for-20 from the 3-point line.
North Dakota State snapped a three-game losing streak and extended its home court winning streak to seven games dating back to last season.
The Bison are scheduled to play at IUPUI on Thursday, Jan. 13, and Western Illinois on Saturday, Jan. 15, before returning home for four straight Summit League games to close out the month.
