Via Gophersports.com

Per the Gophersports.com press release:

University of Minnesota senior forward Shae Kelley was named the Big Ten Women's Basketball Player of the Week after averaging a double-double with 24.0 points and 15.5 rebounds per game in the Gophers' pair of victories over Ohio State and Indiana last week.

It is the second player of the week honor for Kelley as a Gopher and the team's fourth this season.

Kelley posted a .594 (19-32) field goal percentage and a .909 (10-11) free throw percentage, while adding averages of 7.0 offensive rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.0 blocks per game on the week.

She started off the week with a career night at Ohio State on Thursday, posting career-bests with 29 points, 18 rebounds and three blocks in helping Minnesota pick up its third win all-time in Columbus with her sixth double-double of the year.

Kelley continued to impress in the Gophers' home win against the Hoosiers Sunday afternoon, as she paced the team with 19 points, 13 rebounds and four steals for her second-straight double-double and seventh of the season.

Maryland's Brionna Jones, Michigan's Shannon Smith and Nebraska's Natalie Romeo were named to the honor roll, while Ohio State's Kelsey Mitchell earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors.

The Maroon and Gold is set to host Purdue Thursday night at 7 p.m.

They aren't good enough to play or they don't fit? I didn't know 3 players left.

The Gophers played zone for 99% of the time and Illini kept hitting the 3's. You'd think they would change it up so they wouldn't get so comfortable. They also have to figure out how to rebound. Illinois kept 2nd and 3rd tries. I don't know the final count, but last I hear they had 21 offensive rebounds. Just terrible

She can't really play much in the line of man defense because she has no bench. She pretty much has to run an iron 5 out there every game. The zone allows them to conserve some energy. Don't forget she lost the preseason Big Ten player of the year at the start of the season. She has a couple of good recruits coming in next year to go with the return of Banham. Evaluate her then when she has a full roster.

She needs to assert her offense on a consistent basis, if there is any hope of getting the pressure off of Zahui and Kelley. The other thing that has to get fixed is Mullaney's habit of turning the ball over. She can pile up double digit assists on a regular basis, but she will turn it over half a dozen times on a nightly basis. Last night she had 7 asst and 6 TO. You can get away with that against a team like Michigan at home, but not against the better competition in the league.

Amanda Zahui just set the all time career blocks record for Gophers Women's Basketball. As a SOPHOMORE.

She now has 94 blocks on the season and is just 12 blocks away from setting the single season record of 105 that she set last year.

Three game winning streak, Kelley is the Big Ten player of the week, Carly Wagner is the Big Ten freshman of the week for the second week in a row and Amanda Zahui B. is in the late season top 20 for the Wooden Award.

She had 7 offensive rebounds and 22 defensive boards.

Iowa had 11 and 24 as a team...
