Indiana men’s and women’s basketball took home several Big Ten weekly awards Monday.
IU men’s basketball guard Lamar Wilkerson was named co-Big Ten Player of the Week, sharing the honor with Nebraska’s Pryce Sandfort. Wilkerson enjoyed a historic performance against Penn State on Tuesday, setting a program record with 10 3-pointers and setting a Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall scoring record with 44 points. The fifth-year added four rebounds, four assists, and three steals in Indiana’s 113-72 win over the Nittany Lions. He then followed it up with 15 points in IU’s 72-60 loss at Kentucky.
Wilkerson is the second player on Darian DeVries’ squad to earn player of the week honors this year. Tucker DeVries earned the distinction after the first week of the season.
Meanwhile, IU women’s basketball guard Shay Ciezki won Big Ten Player of the Week for the second time this year. She also took it home on Nov. 10, the first week of the season. Ciezki dominated in Indiana’s two wins over Louisiana-Monroe and Eastern Michigan.
