Kentucky Basketball walked away empty-handed when the SEC passed out its Player and Freshman of the Week awards last week. Kentucky’s exclusion snapped a five-week streak of at least one Kentucky Wildcat taking one of the league’s two weekly awards. Thanks a lot, Auburn.

But this week Kentucky is back in the mix thanks to Keion Brooks’ career performance in the win at Kansas. With a career-high 27 in the Phog and 12 against Mississippi State as the appetizer, Brooks was awarded the SEC Player of the Week award.

Brooks’ Player of the Week trophy is his first and the eighth SEC award for Kentucky this season.
