It happened again this week, just like it did four times previously this season. The BIG EAST announces its Rookie of the Week honors and there is that name again: Henry Ellenson, No. 13 in your Marquette program.
There was supposed to be a truckload of pressure on the 6-11, 245-pound freshman coming into this season. Any story you read about Marquette basketball, every college basketball talking head who had an opinion declared the Golden Eagles would only go as far as Ellenson would take them this season. Only someone forgot to clue Ellenson in on it all, as he clearly has enjoyed his introduction to college basketball.
