After earning the honor for the first time last week, Malaki Branham is once again the Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the Buckeyes.
Branham has now been either Ohio State's first or second-leading scorer in three straight games. The Ohio native scored 35 against Nebraska on Jan. 2, a performance that earned him the Big Ten Freshman of the Week honor last week, and then led Ohio State with 13 points in a loss against Indiana this past Thursday. Branham's impressive night against the Wildcats on Sunday was only eclipsed by a career-high 34-point game by E.J. Liddell.
After his recent string of success, Branham is now the Buckeyes' second-leading scorer for the season, averaging 10.4 points per game behind Liddell's 20.1. Branham averaged 18.5 points per game this past week to help him bring home more Big Ten hardware.
