Rhyne Howard Day has turned into Rhyne Howard Week.
Following two spectacular performances this past week for her Kentucky Women’s Basketball squad (15-11, 8-8 in SEC play), Howard has been tabbed as the SEC’s Player of the Week for the sixth total time in her career and first this season. The 6-foot-2 senior guard posted 19 points and 12 rebounds in a road win over Missouri on Thursday before exploding for a Senior Day record 32 points on Sunday against Auburn. In that same game against Auburn, she also drilled a school-record eight 3-pointers.
