FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas guard Isaiah Joe scored a game-high 24 points to lead the Razorbacks to a comeback victory at Indiana on Sunday.
On Monday, Joe shared the SEC’s player of the week honor with Kentucky junior forward Nick Richards, who had 13 points and 10 rebounds in the Wildcats’ overtime victory over Louisville on Saturday.
It is the second time that Joe, a sophomore from Fort Smith, has earned an SEC player of the week award. His first came last season when he scored a career-high 34 points against Florida International.
Joe played the entire second half Sunday and scored 18 points after halftime as the Razorbacks rallied from an 11-point deficit to win 71-64 at Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Ind.
