Jordan Murphy has been absolutely dominating in the first few weeks of the college basketball season. The Minnesota Golden Gophers haves played 7 games and in those 7 games, Murphy has recorded a double-double each time. The junior is having a monster season already averaging 22 points and 12 rebounds per game.
The result of his play has netted him back-to-back-to-back Big Ten Player of the Week awards. This is the first time it has happened since 2009 when Evan Turner won the award in 3 consecutive weeks.
This past week was a three-game week for Murphy and the final game was against a ranked Alabama team where he scored 19 points to go with 14 rebounds and 3 blocked shots.
