Lincoln – Nebraska’s Bryce McGowens was honored Monday afternoon, as he was named Big Ten Freshmen of the Week for the fifth time this season.
McGowens, a 6-foot-7 guard, averaged 17.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game at Michigan and against Northwestern. In Wednesday’s loss at Michigan, McGowens finished with a team-high 24 points, marking his fourth consecutive 20-point outing while also posting team highs in both rebounds (six) and steals (three). The four consecutive 20-point outings set a school record for a Husker freshman.
