For the eighth time in 11 chances, the Southeastern Conference named a Kentucky player its Freshman of the Week.
This time is was big man DeMarcus Cousins, who scored 16 points and pulled down 14 rebounds in only 17 minutes in helping lead Kentucky beat Arkansas 101-70 on Saturday.
It was Cousins’ 10th double-double of the season, one shy of the UK freshman record of 11 (Chris Mills) in a season. He has recorded two straight double-doubles and has recorded six double-doubles this season while playing less than 20 minutes in the game.
Cousins had previously won one SEC Freshman of the Week award. Teammates John Wall (four) and Eric Bledsoe (two ) have combined to win the award six times.
Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald- Leader has covered Kentucky basketball since the 1981-82 season. That time includes five coaches, five Final Fours, four athletic directors, two interim athletic directors and many memories. Before coming to Lexington, Tipton worked eight years for the Huntington (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch. He covered Marshall’s basketball team for two seasons before coming to the Herald-Leader.
