BOSTON, MA -- Milwaukee’s Josh Dixon has been named the Lou Henson award National Player of the Week. The 6-foot-1 freshman led the Panthers to a pair of wins last week.

On Friday he scored a career-high 24 points to go along with five rebounds and four assists against South Dakota State. Two days later he posted a new career-best with 28 points at Cleveland State. Dixon scored nearly as many points in two games (52) as he had combined (58) through the first 10 games.
