BOSTON (MA) -- Austin Peay's Terry Taylor earns the Lute Olson
award national player of the week honors.
The 6-foot-5 senior helped the Governors to a pair of Ohio
Valley Conference wins last week. On Thursday he had 37 points
and 14 rebounds against Tennessee State. On Saturday he finished
with 13 points and 17 rebounds against Belmont.
The Lute Olson Award is presented annually to the nation's top
Division I player who has played at least two seasons with his
respective team. Freshmen and first-year transfers can be named
to the All-America team, but are not eligible to receive the
Player of the Year honors.
The award is named in honor of coaching great Lute Olson, who
won 780 games in 34 seasons, 24 of which were spent at the
University of Arizona. During that stretch he led the Wildcats
to 11 Pac-10 Conference titles, 23 consecutive NCAA Tournaments,
four Final Four appearances and a National Championship in 1997.
