San Jose State men’s basketball player Noah Baumann was named as a Student-Athlete of the Month for January, presented by O’Connor Hospital.

Baumann opened up Mountain West play with a bang as he averaged 11.0 points per game in the first eight games of conference play. He was the only player on the men’s basketball team to start in every Mountain West game in January. Baumann, who’s known for his lethal 3-pointer, shot 41.3% from beyond the arc in January. The Phoenix, Ariz., product finished the month with back-to-back double digit scoring efforts against Air Force (12) and Utah State (15).

On January 16, Baumann had one of the best games of his career as he tied the school record with seven 3-pointers made and finished with a career-high 29 points, the most points scored by any Spartan this season.
