Kentucky Wildcats women’s basketball superstar Rhyne Howard has been named the SEC Player of the Week, the league announced Monday.
It comes after Kentucky celebrated Rhyne Howard Day on Sunday vs. Auburn as she played her final game inside Memorial Coliseum.
So of course, Howard had a record-breaking performance, scoring 32 points in the game, which is the most points ever by a Kentucky senior on Senior Day. It also moved Howard into the top-25 all-time in scoring in the SEC, as she now ranks 24th with 2,185 points.
Howard hit eight triples in the game, which was a new school record for threes made in a game.
