Purdue Senior Forward Trevion Williams Named Big Ten Co-Player of the Week

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — For the second time this season, Purdue senior forward Trevion Williams was recognized as the Big Ten Player of the Week. He shared the honor with Ohio State forward E.J. Liddell. 

Williams, who was named the Co-Player of the Week on Nov. 22 after Purdue basketball's title run in the Hall of Fame Tipoff Classic, has won the Big Ten Player of the Week award four times in his career. That number is tied for fifth-most in school history. 

Against Rutgers and North Carolina State, Williams averaged 21.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, five rebounds, two blocks and 1.5 steals per game. He made 19 of his 31 shots from the field and was 5-of-8 from the free-throw line while registering 28 minutes per contest. 

In a 70-68 loss to Rutgers on Thursday, Dec. 9, Williams recorded 21 points, 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 23 minutes on the floor. He led the Boilermakers in a bounce-back victory over NC State in overtime by tallying a season-high 22 points, 12 rebounds and a career-high nine assists. 

In the 82-72 win, Williams also had four blocks and two steals. He is the only player in the country to reach those marks in a single game since at the least the 2009-10 season. 

On the year, the 6-foot-10 senior is averaging 14.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, three assists, 1.3 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. Williams is also logging 20.9 minutes per contest. Since the 1992-93 season, no player has ever averaged at least 14 points, nine rebounds and three assists in under 29 minutes per game.
