Pepperdine guard Brandon Armstrong was selected the West Coast Conference men’s basketball player of the week.

Armstrong scored 57 points in two victories over Loyola Marymount, including 40 on 16-of-24 shooting last Wednesday for the Waves (12-5, 4-0 in WCC play).

A 6-foot-3 junior, he has been drawing the attention of defenses--and pro scouts--in recent weeks.

“Armstrong showed why he’s a great pro prospect,” Loyola Marymount Coach Steve Aggers said. “[Wednesday] was pretty much the Brandon Armstrong show.”
