The Big East women’s basketball weekly awards are out and UConn Huskies point guard Renee Montgomery was chosen as the Big East Player of the Week for the week-ending 11/30.
Montgomery averaged 24.5 points per game, while shooting 59.4 percent (19-of-32) from the field in Connecticut’s two wins last week at Brigham Young (97-46) on Nov. 25 and at home against No. 4/4 Oklahoma (106-78) on Nov. 30. The senior guard also averaged 7.5 assists per game and shot 64.3 percent (9-of-14) from 3-point range. Montgomery put together a career night against Oklahoma. She registered career-highs with 30 points and 13 assists. The assist total tied the single-game record in UConn history, and it was also the first double-double of her career. Montgomery dropped 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting, including 5-of-6 from the 3-point stripe, at BYU.
The Huskies have one final game before they break for final exams as the Holy Cross Crusaders come to Gampel Pavilion on Wednesday night.
