Weekly Honors

SEC Co-Players of the Week presented by Allstate: Florida’s Kiyomi McMiller and Kentucky’s Ajša Sivka.

McMiller ranks second in the nation in scoring and her 32 made field goals are the most in the country. Her 42 points vs. UCF on Nov. 5 were the fourth most in program history and the second most in the nation this season. Her 31 points in the season opener were the most ever by a Gator in their first game with the program, and her seven made 3-pointers against UCF are tied for the third most in a game in program history. She earned Associated Press national player of the week honorable mention.

Sivka put together impressive scoring and passing performances in all three of Kentucky’s wins to begin the season: 12 points, a team-high eight assists, three rebounds, one block and one steal in her first game, going 2-of-2 from behind the arc; 11 points, seven rebounds and three assists in her second game; and a team-high 32 points against a ranked NC State team, with eight 3s that tied Rhyne Howard for a single-game school record, contributing to a school-record 13 team 3s in the first half and a school-record-tying 18 team 3s for the game, plus five rebounds and three assists. She became the second SEC player since 2002-03 to have at least eight made 3s against an AP ranked team.

SEC Freshman of the Week presented by Allstate: Oklahoma freshman forward LeeLee Bell averaged 22.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.5 steals per game to lead No. 21 Oklahoma to a 2-0 start, highlighted by a win over No. 12 North Carolina. In her debut against the Tar Heels in Paris, Bell poured in 25 points with eight rebounds and four assists, becoming the first freshman nationally this century to post that stat line in a debut against a ranked opponent; her 25 points were the second highest-scoring debut by any player in Oklahoma history. She followed with her first career double-double, 20 points, 12 rebounds and four steals in a 95-38 win over Morgan State — the first Sooner, regardless of class, to record that stat line since 2002. Bell earned USBWA National Freshman of the Week honors.

Around the League

Those 90+ point performances have come off the back of a school-record-tying 18 team 3s in each of those contests.
