George Hill, IUPUI

Jr., G, 6-2, Indianapolis, Ind./Broad Ripple HS

Hill earns Player of the Week honors for the fourth time this season after averaging 28.5 points on 65 percent shooting, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists in a pair of wins last week. The junior opened the week with 23 points, including 19 in the second half, to go with five rebounds and four assists vs. South Dakota State. He followed that up with 33 points, one shy of his career high, seven assists and six rebounds in a come-from-behind win at North Dakota State. Hill, who made a career-high 14 free throws in the victory, assisted John Ashworth on the game-winning three-pointer as the Jaguars closed the game on a 14-0 run. IUPUI has now won six in a row and sits in second place in The Summit League standings.
