PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - UMass' sophomore forward Rashaun Freeman (Schenectady, N.Y.) was named co-Atlantic 10 Player of the Week on Sunday, Jan. 2. He shared the honor with LaSalle's Steven Smith.
In Massachusetts' only game of the week, Freeman recorded 25 points and 13 rebounds as the Minutemen downed Boston University, 67-65, on Dec. 28. The game marked his seventh double-figure scoring game of the season. He was 6-11 (.545) from the field and 13-14 (.929) from the foul line. The 13 free throws represent a career-high. He also had two blocks, an assist, and a steal.
It was his second Player of the Week citation of the season. He also earned the honor after the win over UConn, taking home the accolade on Dec. 12.
