Purdue only has two people eligible for Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors. Since the conference continues to ignore the sick handles of walk-on Tommy Luce we’ll have to settle for them honoring Carsen Edwards. After two solid games against Illinois and Penn State Edwards co named Co-Freshman of the Week with Justin Jackson from Maryland:
Edwards had 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists against Illinois on Tuesday, including a stretch where he scored 10 straight as the Boilers routed the Illini. On Saturday against Penn State he had a solid 13-2-2 line.
