Darrun Hilliard earns multiple National Player of the Week honors

Villanova Wildcats senior Darrun Hilliard was named National Player of the Week by CBS Sports, ESPN's Andy Katz and SNY's Adam Zagoria. The awards deservedly come following a week in which Hilliard dropped in 16 points in a tough road win over Providence before catching fire in Hinkle Fieldhouse by hitting eight three-pointers (including the game-winner with 1.5 seconds left) en route to 31 points in a win over Butler.

The Bethlehem, PA native is averaging 14.1 points per game for the Wildcats this season to go with as 3 rebounds per game and 2.1 assists per game.

Hilliard also won national Player of the Week honors two years ago when Villanova notched upsets of [then] #5 Louisville and [then] #3 Syracuse.
