Illinois' Kofi Cockburn swept both Big Ten weekly honors, the conference office announced on Monday, taking home conference Player and Freshman of the Week awards.

Cockburn averaged 17.7 points and 14.7 rebounds and had a double-double in all three Illini victories during the week.

He becomes the first player to sweep the league's weekly player and freshman award since Nick Ward of Michigan State on Feb. 27, 2017. This is already the second B1G Freshman of the Week honor, meanwhile, for Cockburn (Nov. 11). 

The 7-foot big man from Kingston, Jamaica had double-doubles in Illinois' wins over Hawaii, The Citadel and Hampton. 

Illinois takes on Lindenwood tomorrow (Tuesday) night before the Big Ten/ACC Challenge next Monday.
