The U.S. Basketball Writers Association named Kentucky freshman Doron Lamb as its national Player of the Week for last week, the organization announced Wednesday.
As the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week, Middleton was nominated for the weekly award, which was chosen by a representative of the USBWA board of directors from a list of Division I conference players of the week.
Lamb came off the bench to score 32 points in leading UK to an 89-52 win over Winthrop. He made 11 of 12 shots, including seven of eight three-point attempts, in breaking Jamal Mashburn’s freshman scoring record for a game.
The USBWA names its Player of the Week award for Oscar Robertson.
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.

Who is Middleton? Damn, Jerry, you can’t even proofread two paragraphs effectively. Or did you, as you are typical for doing, just cut and paste something and claim it as your own?
