Johnny Davis named Co-Big Ten Player of the Week

Johnny Davis receives recognition from the conference for his massive week.

The accolades just keep rolling in for Wisconsin Badgers sophomore guard Johnny Davis.

The former La Crosse Central star was recently named the Co-Big Ten Player of the Week, alongside Illinois starting center Kofi Cockburn.

Davis helped lead the Badgers to a 3-0 record while averaging 27.3 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.0 block for the week against a tough slate of Big Ten opponents.

The sophomore guard’s signature performance came this past Monday when Davis scored 37 points while hauling in 14 rebounds in a victory over previously ranked No. 3 Purdue.

The 6-foot-5 guard followed that up by dropping 26 points in a win over the visiting Iowa Hawkeyes.

This is Davis’ second time being recognized as the Big Ten Player of the Week in his young career.
