Ptacek has not showed any signs of slowing down as the veteran sharp-shooter averaged 22.5 points in a pair of home wins to earn this week’s Choice Hotels/NEC Player of the Week honor. Rated fourth in the league in scoring with a 19.8 average, the Bayport, NY product netted 21 points in last Tuesday night’s 77-69 win over UMBC. He also grabbed three rebounds while producing eight of his 21 points from the charity stripe. Ptacek then turned it up a notch and trumped that performance three nights later in a 92-58 rout of local rival Hartford. He totaled 24 points for the game but did most of his damage in the first half, producing 14 of the Blue Devils’ first 19 points and 22 of the their 44 total at the break. Ptackek also showed off his playmaking skills by dishing out a career-high seven assists as CCSU shot 62% from the field.
