After his clutch shooting lifted Western Kentucky to two victories in the Battle 4 Atlantis, Western Kentucky guard Jake Ohmer was named Monday as Conference USA’s Men’s Basketball Freshman of the Week.

This is the first weekly award of Ohmer’s career and the first for WKU since Justin Johnson was named Player of the Week on Feb. 6.

Ohmer is WKU’s first Freshman of the Week since Johnson earned the nod Dec. 15, 2014.

The 6-foot-1, 170-pound guard from Taylor Mill averaged 11 points per game and netted 8 of 11 3-pointers (72.7 percent) during three games in the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas.

Ohmer’s biggest shot was a game-winning 3-pointer with 4.5 seconds left to give WKU a 63-61 victory over Southern Methodist. He also scored 15 points and went 3-for-3 from long range in the Hilltoppers’ 77-73 upset of No. 18 Purdue.

Overall, Ohmer shot 61.1 percent from the field during the week and also grabbed four steals.

Ohmer is averaging 10.7 points per game this season and shooting 47.4 percent from the field, 46.2 percent from 3-point range and 84.2 percent from the free-throw line.

Hilltopper OL Raschilla announces intent to transfer

Western Kentucky offensive lineman Adam Raschilla announced Monday on Twitter that he’s leaving the WKU program.

“I would like to officially announce that after this semester, I will no longer be attending Western Kentucky, and will be reopening my recruitment to other schools. No interviews,” Raschilla tweeted.

Raschilla, a redshirt freshman, didn’t appear in any games this season for the Hilltoppers. The 6-foot-5, 330-pound lineman is a Northport, Ala., native and Tuscaloosa County High School product.

Raschilla was rated a three-star prospect in the Class of 2016 by ESPN.com and was named to the USA Today All-USA Alabama Football Team
