Purdue’s Zach Edey and Michigan freshman Dug McDaniel are B1G’s Players of the Week.

Edey Averaged 17.0 points on .636 shooting, 17.5 rebounds, and 3.5 blocked shots as Purdue got wins over Nebraska and Hofstra last week. Because of Houston’s loss Saturday to Alabama, the Boilermakers are now the No. 1 team in the nation, and a lot of the credit goes to Edey.

McDaniel was named Freshman of the Week. He was nearly perfect from the field, shooting 5-6 and scoring a career-high 15 points in his first career start, in the Wolverines’ 90-75 win at Minnesota. He also was 3-3 from the three-point line and 2-2 from the free throw line.

Wolverine freshman Jett Howard won the award almost a month ago. As conference play begins to gear up in the coming weeks, expect these two guys to make a lot of noise that will more than likely garner them even more honors in the coming weeks and some honors may come nationally.
