LOS ANGELES - The West Coast Conference has named LMU junior Adom Jacko as the Men's Basketball Player of the Week for Jan. 25, 2016. The forward from Upland, Calif., averaged 24.5 points and 8.5 rebounds in two games at Gersten Pavilion last week.

Jacko has helped the Lions with three of their last four and was a presence on the floor last weekend against BYU and San Diego. In addition to his points and rebounds, he shot 70.3 percent from the field, hitting 19-for-27. He was also 11-for-14 from the free throw line and added four blocks, earning two in each game.

On Thursday against the Cougars, he went for his fifth double-double of the season, scoring a career-best 26 points with 12 rebounds. He finished the game 11-for-12 from the field, equaling the all-time LMU record for shooting percentage in a game (91.6 percent - 10 or more attempts). Victor Lazzaretti with 11-for-12 against Pepperdine on Feb. 25, 1987 and Mike Yoest did it against Marquette on Jan. 6, 1988.

Against the Toreros, he scored 17 of his 23 points in the second half to lead the Lions' comeback win. He was 8-for--15 from the field, adding an assist and two more blocks.

Jacko is fifth in the WCC with his five double-doubles and moved to seventh in the conference with a shooting percentage of 54.5. He is also ninth in scoring at 15.3, ninth in rebounds at 6.6 and fifth in offensive rebounds at 2.7. Jacko's first double-double, a 22-point and 10-rebound effort in the season opener, was the first double-double by an LMU player in his first game as a Lion against an NCAA Division I program in 35 years.
