ROSEMONT, Ill. – Indiana junior forward Mackenzie Holmes has been named the Big Ten Player of the Week, announced by the league on Monday. This marks Holmes second career player of the week honor as she earned the last weekly award during the 2020-21 season (March 7, 2021).
Holmes helped the Hoosiers to a 2-0 start with wins at Butler and over No. 13 Kentucky. During the two-game stretch, Holmes went 64.0 percent from the field and averaged 20.0 points per game. She also shot 66.7 percent from the arc (2-for-3) and went a perfect 6-for-6 at the free throw line.
In the season opener against the Bulldogs, the Gorham, Maine native shot 50 percent from the floor to score 11 points and added eight rebounds, two steals and a block. She hit her first career triple in the game and didn't commit a single foul in 25 minutes of action.
On the national stage on Sunday, Holmes went an impressive 11-for-15 from the floor for a new career-high 29 points. She hit a 3-pointer and went 6-for-6 at the free throw line while pulling down seven rebounds, picking up two steals and adding a block.
Holmes and her teammates return to the court on Tuesday night when it hosts Norfolk State in a 7 p.m. ET tip at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall.
