Taveion Hollingsworth put his team on his back last week, and as a result, the Western Kentucky guard was named Conference USA Co-Player of the Week on Monday.
This is the first Player of the Week award in Hollingsworth’s standout career, as well as the first weekly award overall for the 6-foot-2, 165-pound junior from Lexington since a pair of Freshman of the Week honors in 2017-18.
Hollingsworth is the third different Hilltopper to win C-USA Player of the Week this season, joining Carson Williams and Charles Bassey. That’s the most of any program in the league.
