Cranford’s league-best fourth NEC Rookie of the Week honor comes on the heels of a Saint Francis U nail-biting sweep, during which the Dayton, OH native averaged 13.0 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. Cranford hit four free throws in the final 18 seconds of overtime to help clinch the Red Flash’s 81-76 win at Le Moyne on Thursday. He finished with 12 points and four boards. On Saturday, Cranford matched his NEC season-highs in both points and rebounds, totaling 14 points and nine boards in another dramatic win, an 85-80 conquest of visiting FDU. He leads all NEC freshman with 9.5 ppg and his 38.1 percent success rate from three-point territory ranks ninth in the conference.
