Gaines named SEC Player of the Week
Monday February 18, 2008
Sundiata Gaines has been on fire lately, and he was accordingly recognized today as the SEC Player of the Week. The SEC notes that Gaines “leads Georgia in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals, minutes played, FTs made, and FTs attempted” (though we know of four free throw attempts he’d rather have back from Saturday’s game). His three-game total of 82 points is the most since Jumaine Jones ripped off 87 over a three-game span in 1998.
Gaines is making a serious case for All-SEC honors. First team.
