Hogs' Joe earns SEC player of the week

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas guard Isaiah Joe was named the Southeastern Conference's player of the week Monday.

Joe, a freshman from Fort Smith Northside, scored 34 points in the Razorbacks' only game last week, a 121-89 victory over Florida International on Saturday at Bud Walton Arena.

Joe made 10 3-point attempts, tied for third-most in a single game by an Arkansas player and the most ever by a Razorbacks freshman. His 34 points were second-most ever by an Arkansas freshman, one shy of Bobby Portis' record of 35 in 2014.

Joe is the second Arkansas player to earn conference player of the week honors through the first month of the season.
