Wendell Green Jr. was chosen as the Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Week for the third time this season on Jan. 25.

Green Jr. exploded for a game-high 25 points in EKU's 113-73 win over UT Martin. He added four assists, two steals and two rebounds.
 
The Detroit native shot 62 percent (10-of-16) from the field and 67 percent (4-of-6) from deep in the victory. His performance helped the Colonels tie the OVC single-game record with 20 three-pointers.
 
Green Jr. now leads all OVC freshmen in scoring (16.4 points-per-game) and assists (5.3 assists-per-game) during league play. He has helped guide Eastern to its best start since 1946-47.
