Darling nets Big Sky Player of the Week honors for second straight week

POCATELO — The Big Sky Conference announced Idaho State redshirt sophomore Dylan Darling as Conference Player of the Week for the second straight week.

Darling receives his second career Player of the Week nod after scoring a career-high 30 points at Weber State on Saturday as the Bengals downed Weber State in Ogden, 72-67.

Darling shot 56.3% (9-16) for the game, including 33.3% (3-9) from 3-point range and he was 9 of 10 from the free-throw line. He also added three assists, four rebounds, and tied a career-high with four steals.

It’s the third time a Bengal has earned Big Sky weekly honors this season and all have come in the last month. Connor Hollenbeck won the award just three weeks ago for the week of Jan. 14th.
