PULLMAN – A historic road sweep led to some rare weekly awards for the Washington State men’s basketball team.
Robert Franks, who poured in 65 points and pulled down 22 rebounds during the Cougars’ wins at Arizona State and Arizona, was named the NCAA.com National Player of the Week and the Pac-12 Player of the Week Monday morning.
The Pac-12 award is handed out weekly throughout the three-month long regular season, but it’d been more than three years since a WSU player was recognized. Franks became the first since former Cougar forward Josh Hawkinson was honored in 2015.
