Zeller earns Big Ten honor

LaMond Pope | The Journal Gazette

Indiana's Cody Zeller was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Monday.

It is the sixth time he has won the award.

Zeller scored 22 points and grabbed five rebounds to help the Hoosiers to an 84-71 win over Illinois on Thursday. He scored 14 of the 22 points in the second half.

"We're proud for Cody," Indiana coach Tom Crean said during the Big Ten teleconference Monday. "He deserves any accolades that he gets when it comes to individual awards because he never really puts himself at the center of that.

"He's a very humble person. He will be the least excited to be freshman of the week in the program and that's probably why he gets that award different times and why he's impacted our team and impacts the game in so many ways because he does what it takes to win."
