Love named Pac-10 Player of the Week

Bruin freshman center Kevin Love received his third U.S. Bank/Pac-10 Player of the Week honor today for his performance in the two games against the Oregon schools on the road last weekend.

Love recorded his 10th and 11th double-doubles of the year and averaged 21.0 points and 19.5 rebounds per game. He also shot 63.6% (14 for 22) from the field and 50.0% (2 for 4) from three-point range.

There’s no doubt that Love played brilliantly, but what about Bruin guard Darren Collison? He had career highs of 22 and 33 points in two games, was 19-19 from the foul line, had nine assists, three steals and only two turnovers.

I think that while KLove's performances against the Oregon school were exceptional, DC was downright incredible. I just rewatched the OSU game and his ability to score at will was awesome.

Still, it's great to see a Bruin take home the honor, so way to go KLove!
