PROVIDENCE, R.I. – University of Memphis freshman forward Precious Achiuwa is the American Athletic Conference Freshman of the Week . . . again.
Achiuwa repeated as Freshman of the Week for his performances last week in a 76-67 loss at nationally ranked Wichita State and a 68-64 win at USF. In the two games, Achiuwa averaged 22 points, 11.5 rebounds and 4.5 blocks. He also made 17 of 29 shots.
With double-doubles in both games, Achiuwa extended his streak of games with double-doubles to five. He has nine for the season.
Achiuwa was particularly effective in the comeback from a 14-point second-half deficit at USF.
