OMAHA, Neb. -- The Creighton men's basketball program swept the BIG EAST Conference weekly awards on Tuesday, as Marcus Foster was named BIG EAST Player of the Week and Mitch Ballock tabbed as BIG EAST Freshman of the Week.
It's the third honor this season for Ballock, joining his similar accolades on Nov. 27 and Dec. 11th. It's Foster's first recognition this season, though he was honored by the BIG EAST last season on both Nov. 28th and Dec. 26th.
Foster averaged nearly a point a minute in leading Creighton to a pair of wins last week.
