Florida guard Lavender Briggs was named the SEC Player of the Week, the conference announced on Tuesday. Briggs averaged 29.5 points over two games, including a 41-point effort against Arkansas on Thursday.
The honor is the first such for Briggs and the first for any Florida player since January 2018 (Haley Lorenzen).
The sophomore from Provo, Utah, scored the fourth most points in a game in program history and became only the fourth player across the NCAA to reach 40 points this season. More importantly, she kept her team in striking distance of No. 17 Arkansas.
Briggs then scored 18 points in Florida’s win against Auburn on Sunday.
Florida’s contest at Vanderbilt, scheduled for Thursday, was cancelled as the Commodores have shut down the program for the remainder of the season. The Gators will travel to Ole Miss on Sunday. Tip-off is slated for 3:00 PM.
