UM's Jordan Poole, Ignas Brazdeikis sweep weekly Big Ten awards

After a big week in which it dominated two ranked opponents, undefeated Michigan men's basketball swept the weekly Big Ten awards, announced Monday.

Sophomore guard Jordan Poole was named player of the week, and swingman Ignas Brazdeikis was named freshman of the week.

Poole, in the wins over North Carolina and Purdue, averaged 19.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists, and shot 63.6 percent from the floor, 76.9 percent from 3-point range. He made five 3-pointers in each win.

He's the first Michigan player of the week since Derrick Walton Jr. in March 2017.
