Deja vu.
Arkansas freshman Taliah Scott has done it again.
For the fourth consecutive week, the former 5-Star McDonald’s All-American, has showcased her talents enough to be named SEC Freshman of the Week. Scott is the first women’s basketball player in league history to win the honor for four straight weeks.
The 5-foot-9, Orange Park, Fla., native has led the conference in scoring the entire season, thus far, scoring 24.5 points per game, and is the only SEC player scoring more than 20 points per game. She is averaging over five points more than LSU’s Aneesah Morrow, who is second on the list.
Scott is fifth nationally in scoring, and only trails Iowa’s Caitlin Clark for total points, with 269 through 11 games.
She also leads the SEC with 61 free throws made, as well as free throw attempts, field goal attempts, and 3-point attempts. She sits second in the NCAA in free throws made and attempted, third in field goal attempts and fourth in 3-point attempts.
Scott was red-hot in Thursdays’ 100-60 win over Louisiana Tech, scoring a game-high 29 points on 12-of-16 shooting from the field, and 5-of-8 from beyond the arc.
She followed that with 31 points and six rebounds in the Razorbacks’ 74-70 loss to Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Sunday.
Scott is now tied with Samara Spencer with four overall Freshman of the Week honors. Saylor Poffenbarger and C’eria Ricketts are tied for the school record with five weekly honors.
Arkansas will travel to Little Rock on Saturday to host Samford at Simmons Bank Arena, beginning at 12:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast on SECN+.
