As Kentucky Women’s Basketball continues to build its case for the NCAA Tournament, so does its star player for another run at National Player of the Year honors.
On Tuesday afternoon, for just the second time in her career, Rhyne Howard was tabbed as the Naismith Trophy Player of the Week for her performances during Kentucky’s three contests last week. The two-time reigning SEC Player of the Year was spectacular in a trio of wins for the Wildcats, averaging 20.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists. Her best outing was a 29-point, 10-rebound outing in a dominating road win over Arkansas on Sunday.
