Rhyne Howard named SEC Player of the Week for sixth time

Rhyne Howard Day has turned into Rhyne Howard Week.

Following two spectacular performances this past week for her Kentucky Women’s Basketball squad (15-11, 8-8 in SEC play), Howard has been tabbed as the SEC’s Player of the Week for the sixth total time in her career and first this season. The 6-foot-2 senior guard posted 19 points and 12 rebounds in a road win over Missouri on Thursday before exploding for a Senior Day record 32 points on Sunday against Auburn. In that same game against Auburn, she also drilled a school-record eight 3-pointers.
