This is Dorsey’s second WAC Player of the Week honor after earning the honor on December 5.
This season, Dorsey is averaging 16.0 points per game and has also taken care of business at the free throw line by shooting .866 (71-82). Dorsey ranks third in the WAC in scoring and leads the WAC in free throw percentage while ranking fourth in 3-pointers made (2.08).
