Sawyer, a 6-2 freshman guard, was named to the Great Alaska Shootout All-Tournament team last weekend after setting a tournament record with 30 assists in three games (the previous record of 29 was set by Stanford's Brevin Knight in 1996). He scored 18 points with 10 assists in the win over Florida State and followed that performance with a 19-point, 11-assist effort in the win over Alaska Anchorage. Sawyer also dished out nine assists in the opening round against Syracuse.
For the season, Sawyer is averaging 13.8 points and 10.3 assists per game for the 25th-ranked Blue Demons (3-1) who travel to 10th-ranked Florida on Saturday at 11 a.m. (CST). The game will be televised nationally by ESPN.
