Player of the Week
D.J. White, Indiana
Jr., F, Tuscaloosa, Ala./Hillcrest
White claims Player of the Week accolades after averaging a team-high 22 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game while leading the Hoosiers to victories over Iowa and Connecticut last week. The junior forward opened the week notching his second straight double-double and tied a career high with 23 points and 12 rebounds against the Hawkeyes. He shot 10-of-13 from the field (.769) and was 3-of-5 from the free throw line (.600). In the team's 77-73 victory at UConn, White registered his fifth 20-plus point performance of the season, scoring 21 while adding three blocks and three rebounds. The Tuscaloosa, Ala., native, who currently leads the team with 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, earns his first Big Ten weekly laurel. Indiana has now won five straight games and nine of its last 10.
