Husker guard Jamarques Lawrence had a big week. A big enough week for the freshman guard to earn Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors. Yes, even in the loss to Michigan State he garnered enough attention from the head office to be the first Husker this season to earn the award.
The New Jersey Native started the week off with 15 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists in the loss to Michigan State. He followed up the performance with another 15 points, along with 5 rebounds, and 4 assists in the win against Iowa on Sunday.
The Iowa game was key for Jamarques as he was 5 of 8 from beyond the arch in the road win in Iowa City.
