Evan Turner was named Big Ten player of the week for the sixth time this season today, a record for the conference award. Turner shared the previous record of five with Glenn Robinson of Purdue.
It was Turner's ninth such award for his career, also a record. Two weeks ago, he broke the record of seven he shared with Robinson and former Ohio State star Jim Jackson.
Turner has been healthy for 11 of the 15 weeks the award has been given this season, so he's won it more than half the time he's had a chance.
Turner averaged 24.5 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists in a loss to Purdue and win at Michigan State last week.
He leads the Big Ten in scoring (19.5 points per game) and rebounding (9.3) and ranks second in assists (5.77).
