This just in from the UGA Sports Communications Office:
ATHENS, GA. — For the second time in three weeks, Georgia’s Jasmine James (pictured) has been named the SEC Freshman of the Week for women’s basketball. The league office in Birmingham, AL, announced the honor on Monday.
Last week, James averaged 19.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists while leading Georgia in scoring in wins over Alabama State, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi and Southern Miss. The Memphis native also posted stellar shooting percentages of 51.4 percent from the field and 89.5 percent from the line and dished out 15 assists to just three turnovers during those contests.
Against Alabama State, James scored 17 points and grabbed a game-high six rebounds. She popped for 18 points and collected a game-high three steals versus Texas A&M Corpus Christi. James poured in 24 points and dished out a game- and career-high six assists against Southern Miss in the championship game of USM’s Lady Eagle Thanksgiving Classic.
On the season, James is averaging 17.5 points per game, and she has led the Lady Bulldogs offensively in five of six contests.
James also was tabbed as SEC Freshman of the Week on Nov. 16, a day after scoring a team-high 15 points in Georgia’s 62-51 upset of No. 13 Oklahoma in her collegiate debut.
