After scoring 19 points and 15 rebounds against Michigan on Thursday and racking up 18 points and 13 rebounds against Minnesota yesterday, Jared Sullinger was named the Big Ten's freshman player of the week. Sullinger has taken the honor 11 of 13 weeks so far this season -- freshmen teamates Deshaun Thomas and Aaron Craft took the honors away from Sullinger during his two "off weeks". 

Ohio State's streak of dominating the freshman POW award might come to an end this week as Ohio State only plays one game -- this Saturday against Wisconsin. The Badgers typically play styngy defense and low-possession basketball, so there's a good possibility that none of Ohio State's talented freshman will blow up the stat sheet. There are certaintly a lot of talented freshman in the conference this year, and if any of them want to make some noise and steal the honor away from the Buckeyes, this would be the week to do it.
