Bradley Beal Named SEC Freshman of the Week

University of Florida freshman guard Bradley Beal (St. Louis, Mo.) has been named the SEC Freshman of the Week for the sixth time this season, the Conference announced today.

Beal, who takes home the Gators’ eight conference honor of the season, earned the accolade after an impressive showing in a pair of SEC road wins over Alabama and Arkansas where he averaged 17.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals. Beal scored 14 points and added a team-best eight rebounds in a victory at Alabama. He followed up his strong performance against the Crimson Tide with a 21-point and nine rebound outing at Arkansas, his fourth 20-point game of the season.
