Julian Cuillier of the Snow College men's basketball team has been named the Scenic West Athletic Conference Player of the Week, the conference announced Monday.
 
Cuillier, a sophomore from Houston, Texas, claims the award after helping the Badgers earn three victories last week, including a 106-101 overtime victory against No. 8 Indian Hills Community College Friday. The Badgers also defeated Colorado Northwestern Community College and Sauk Valley Community College.
 
Cuillier began the week against CNCC and flirted with a triple-double as he recorded 16 points, eight assists, and six rebounds to help the Badgers earn a 114-56 victory against the Spartans.
 
He followed that up with 25 points on 5-9 shooting from the field, 2-3 from deep, and 13-14 from the free-throw line against IHCC. He hit a floater at the buzzer to send the game into overtime, where the Badgers earned the 106-101 victory.
 
Cuillier wrapped up the weekend with 13 points and four rebounds in the Badgers' 104-75 victory against SVCC. In total, he averaged 18.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game. He shot 48 percent from the field and 58 percent from beyond the arc while going 19-20 from the charity stripe across the three games.
 
Through five games this season, Cuillier is averaging 14.2 points, 4.6 assists, and 4.0 per game. He is shooting 41 percent from the field and 47 percent from three. He is also shooting 83 percent from the free-throw line on nearly six attempts per game.
 
Cuillier will look to extend the Badgers' four-game winning streak at the Region 1/Region 18 Challenge this weekend. The Badgers will take on Eastern Arizona College Friday at 4:00 p.m. before a meeting with Arizona Western College Saturday at 3:00 p.m. For video streaming and live stats information, visit snowbadgers.com.
