Fighting Illini sophomore Ayo Dosunmu has been named Big Ten Player of the Week, the conference office announced on Monday.
Dosunmu earns the honor after scoring a game-high 24 points in the Illini's win at No. 9 Penn State last Tuesday, capped by a floater in the lane with 16 seconds left that sealed the victory.
This is the first Big Ten Player of the Week award of Dosunmu's career, and second by an Illini this season. Kofi Cockburn swept the league's player and freshman honors on Nov. 25.
