Myisha Hines-Allen averaged 21.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in two victories.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville women's basketball's Myisha Hines-Allen on Monday was named on the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week.
The Montclair, N.J., native was selected by the Blue Ribbon Panel – comprised of the league's media and sports information directors – in the conference's final weekly honors of the season. The junior helped Louisville (25-6, 12-4 ACC) to a pair of victories last week, averaging 21.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, and 2.0 steals.
It is her second time this season earning the distinction and the fifth of her career.
She began the week with 21 points and nine rebounds against Virginia and followed up with 22 points on 10-of-18 shooting and 12 rebounds against Wake Forest in the regular-season finale.
Hines-Allen has put together another remarkable campaign, a year following being named the Blue Ribbon Panel ACC Player of the Year. She is averaging 13.5 points, 9.1 rebounds, and 1.1 steals.
The 6-foot-2 forward became the 26th member of the school's 1,000-point club and ranks 12th on the school's scoring list. She is quickly ascending three other career lists: field goals made, rebounding, and double-doubles. Hines-Allen's 594 baskets are ninth most in school history, while her 716 rebounds are 17 shy of 10th most. Meanwhile, she has accumulated 13 double-doubles this year, giving her 25 for her career to tie for fourth all-time.
No. 14 Louisville returns to action, when it plays in the ACC Tournament in the HTC Center in Conway, S.C., on Thursday at 11 a.m. ET. The No. 5 seed Cardinals face the winner of No. 12 seed Virginia Tech and No. 13 seed Clemson, which takes place on Wednesday.
