Black earns co-freshman of the week honor

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas guard Anthony Black picked up an honor from the SEC on Monday.

Black was named SEC co-freshman of the week for his play in the Razorbacks’ 2-1 run at the Maui Invitational last week. He shared the award with Ole Miss guard Amaree Abram, who averaged 20.7 points last week at the ESPN Events Invitational.

The 6-7 freshman led Arkansas with 26 points against both Louisville and then-No. 10 Creighton, and he added 15 points in the Razorbacks’ overtime victory against then-No. 17 San Diego State. Black averaged an event-high 22.3 points per game.
