Ohio State forward Brice Sensabaugh has been named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the second straight week following his performance in last Wednesday’s 95-61 win over Maine.

The 6-foot-6 and 235-pounder from Orlando scored a team-high 19 points on 8-of-10 shooting, including 3-of-5 from behind the arc. He also pulled down a game-high seven rebounds and dished out a career-high seven assists.

Sensabaugh earned his first weekly honor after scoring a team-high 22 points – including the go-ahead jumper with three seconds remaining in the second half – in the Buckeyes’ 89-84 overtime loss to North Carolina on Dec. 17.

This marks the second year in a row that an Ohio State player has taken home the honor on consecutive weeks, as former Malaki Branham was named the conference’s freshman of the week on Jan. 3 and Jan. 10 last season.

Branham earned the award a total of three times on his way to being named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, something Sensabaugh will look to match when the Buckeyes return to action on Thursday against Alabama A&M (3 p.m. on BTN).
