Jiggetts Named to American Weekly Honor Roll
TAMPA, JAN. 29, 2018 – Graduate guard Stephan Jiggetts (Forestville, Md.) was selected to the American Athletic Conference honor roll following a week that saw the Bulls go 1-1, including the team's first American Athletic Conference victory of the season.
Jiggetts led all Bulls scorers for the week, averaging 16.5 points in the two games. He shot 45 percent (9-for-20) from the field and was 13-for-17 from the free throw line in the two games. He also averaged 4.5 assists and three rebounds per game.
