Providence, R.I. - The BIG EAST Conference has selected Providence College junior guard Donta Wade (Huntington, W.Va.) along with St. John's Bootsy Thornton as the BIG EAST Co-Players of the Week for the week ending February 27th.
Wade, a 6-2, 205-pound guard led the Friars to wins at Notre Dame (89-79) and at home versus Boston College (45-40) as PC put together its second three-game winning streak of the season. In the two games, Wade averaged 25.5 points along with 5.5 rebounds.
In the February 23rd win at Notre Dame, Wade scored a career high 38 points while making 12-of-23 field goals including a BIG EAST record ten three-pointers. The native of Huntington, West Virginia also set the league record for three-point attempts with 17 in the game. The 38 points scored was the most by a Friar since Jamel Thomas scored 38 last Febraury at Villanova and was the most scored by any BIG EAST player this season.
On Saturday, February 26th, Wade scored 13 points, including two key three-pointers with less than four minutes left in the game that put the Friars in the lead to stay. The former Huntington High School standout also grabbed a career high six rebounds in the low scoring, defensive struggle.
The two wins improved the Friars to 11-16 on the season and 4-10 in BIG EAST play. The Friars return to action on Wednesday, March 1st when they travel to Villanova of a 7:30 p.m. game with the Wildcats.
On the season, Wade is third on the team in scoring with 8.2 points per game and 2.2 rebounds. He leads the Friars with 45 three-pointers made and is among the league leaders in three-point shooting making 35.5% of his shots.
