For the second week in a row, Eastern Washington University junior Bogdan Bliznyuk has been selected as the Big Sky Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, sharing the honor with Montana’s State’s Tyler Hall.
Bliznyuk had a double-double with 31 points and 12 rebounds as Eastern rallied from a 14-point deficit with 10 minutes left to force overtime, then prevailed 93-88 in another double-overtime non-conference victory over Seattle Dec. 4. at KeyArena in Seattle.
A 2014 graduate of Todd Beamer High School near Seattle, Bliznyuk had his third 30-point performance in his last five games. He had 12 rebounds to finish with the 11th double-double in his career, including the school’s first and only triple-double last season. Bliznyuk had career highs with 12 field goals made and 25 attempts, and sank all six of his free throws.
