He averaged 13.5 points, 12.5 rebounds and 9.5 assists and made 11-of-19 (.550) from the field in wins over Nebraska-Omaha and Texas Southern. ASU is ranked No. 20 in this week's Associated Press poll and meets No. 6 Nevada at 9 p.m. PT in the Air Force Reserve Basketball Hall of Fame Classic from STAPLES Center (ESPN2 and 620 AM in Phoenix). Dave Feldman and Jay Bilas have the call.
Cheatham posted 14 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists in the 83-71 victory over the Tigers to join Jordan Bachynski (13 points/12 rebounds/12 blocks on Dec. 12, 2012 vs. Cal State Northridge) as the only Sun Devils to register a triple-double. It was the first triple-double in the Pac-12 since Dec. 2014 (Gary Payton II, OSU) and the 26th recorded in league history dating to 1985. Against Nebraska Omaha Cheatham he had 13 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists in an 89-71 victory over the Mavericks. Freshman Luguentz Dort earned the honor last week for ASU.
Congrats to Zylan Cheatham, who is #Pac12Hoops Player of the Week after recording just the second triple-double in @SunDevilHoops history, the 26th in league history and the first since 2014! https://t.co/1HIvRqF8b6 pic.twitter.com/sm54l2AmD6
