Player of the Week:
Otto Porter
Otto Porter has led the Georgetown Hoyas on a seven-game
winning streak, including three wins over ranked opponents. In two wins last week over Marquette and on
the road at Cincinnati, Porter finished with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 16
points, 7 rebounds respectively. Early
in the season the verdict was out on the Hoyas and it looked as if they were
going to be a middle of the pack Big East team this year, but led by Porter,
Georgetown is tied for first in the conference with six games to go.
Rookie of the Week:
Omar Calhoun
Calhoun is the youngin’ in the talented trio of guards –
with Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright - that make the Huskies go. It would have been easy for the talented
freshman to withdraw from UConn before even playing a game given their
postseason ineligibility, but he stuck to his word and is now the third leading
scorer on the team (behind Napier and Boatright), averaging 11.5ppg. He has
consistently gotten better as the season has progressed and he had his best
week of the season yet last week, finishing with 15 and 16 points against
Syracuse and Villanova respectively, including multiple big shots against their home upset victory over the Orange.
