Wisseh’s first Choice Hotels/NEC Rookie of the Week honor of the season comes after two terrific performances off the bench for the Blackbirds last week. For the week, he averaged 20.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.0 steals while shooting 57.9 percent from the field and 84.2 percent from the line. Wisseh began his week on Tuesday with 11 points, a career-high seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals in an 80-77 setback to Wagner. On Friday, the Brooklyn, NY native exploded for a career-best 29 points and added six boards, two assists and two steals as the Blackbirds dropped an 80-72 decision at Sacred Heart. He drilled 7-11 shots from the floor - including 2-3 from long range - and hit 13-16 from the line. The 29-point outing marked the most points by an NEC freshman since St. Francis (NY)’s John Quintana hit for 31 on February 22, 2003. Wisseh has now boosted his season scoring average to 8.3 ppg and leads the Blackbirds with 2.7 apg and 1.2 spg.
