Williams joins Shavon Shields as the only NU player to earn multiple Big Ten Player of the Week honors. Shields did it twice during the 2013-14 season. Williams also won it on Dec. 16 following his 30-point effort in NU’s win over Indiana.
Williams and the Huskers hope to keep things rolling with another conference road matchup against Washington on Wednesday night. The game will tip at 9:30 p.m. CT and air on the Big Ten Network.
