December 21, 2020 | Men's Basketball
Mitchell had a career-high 37 points in an A-10 win at La Salle last week
AMHERST, Mass. – After collecting 37 points last Wednesday at La Salle, UMass men's basketball sophomore Tre Mitchell has been named the Atlantic 10 Player of the Week.
Mitchell continues to stamp his name throughout the UMass record book, posting a career-high 37 points on 13-of-17 shooting Wednesday in Philadelphia, tied for the eighth most points in UMass single-game history. In just 34 career games, Mitchell is already tied for seventh in career 30+ point games in UMass history. The Pittsburgh, Pa. native added five rebounds and was 9-of-14 from the line in the conference win over the Explorers.
Mitchell is one of only 10 players in the country, and two players in the Atlantic 10, with two 30+ point games this season.
Mitchell wasted no time in confirming that the hype is real on Dec. 11 vs. Northeastern with 31 points and 11 rebounds in his season debut, including 19 points and six boards in the first half alone. Mitchell's performance put him on a list with some of the UMass greats, tying him for the fourth most points in a season opener in program history.
Mitchell's 626 career points have him on track to reach 1000 career points this season. He would be only the fifth player in program history to reach 1000 career points in just two seasons, joining Julius Erving, Jim McCoy, Luwane Pipkinsand Chaz Williams.
Mitchell and the Minutemen are back in back on Monday against Bryant. Tip-off is set for 4 p.m. on NESN and ESPN+.
