Terrico White Named SEC Freshman Of The Week

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. After posting back-to-back career-high scoring efforts against Arkansas and LSU, Ole Miss freshman guard Terrico White was tabbed with Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week honors by the league office Monday.

A native of Memphis, Tenn., White tallied 18 points in a 74-65 win over the Razorbacks on Wednesday before pouring in 22 against the Tigers on Saturday. Playing at both the point and shooting guard spots, the 6-foot-5 rookie drained three shots from downtown in each game.

White leads Ole Miss and ranks seventh in the SEC with a 15.7 scoring average in league games.

He is the second Rebel to receive a weekly honor by the league office this season. Forward Murphy Holloway was a freshman of the week selection on Dec. 29.

White and the Rebels hit the road for a pair of league contests this week. They will visit the Alabama Crimson Tide on Wednesday (7 p.m. CT tip), followed by an FSN South-televised matchup with South Carolina in Columbia on Saturday (7 p.m. CT tip).
