Adam Haluska, Iowa
Sr., G, Carroll, Iowa/Carroll
Haluska earns Player of the Week accolades after leading the Hawkeyes to a pair of victories while shooting over 57 percent from the field (20-of-35) and averaging 28.5 points per game last week. The senior forward tallied a career-high 36 points to help Iowa to a 101-59 victory over Georgia State. Haluska went 13-of-19 from the field (.684) and shot 6-of-11 from the three-point line (.545), while adding four assists and two steals in just 28 minutes of action. His 36-point performance matches the most scored by an Iowa player in Carver-Hawkeye Arena (Iowa's Rob Griffin scored 36 points in a win over Penn State on March 4, 2000). Haluska followed with another top performance against Texas Southern, notching 21 points and four rebounds. For the week, he shot 9-of-10 from the free throw line (.900) and made eight three-pointers, while adding five rebounds, five assists and two steals. Haluska, who currently ranks third in the conference in scoring (19.5 ppg), claims his second career weekly accolade after also being honored on Jan. 30, 2006.
