ATHENS — Georgia's J.J. Frazier was tabbed SEC Player of the Week on Monday, two days after his record-setting performance in the Bulldogs' victory over Georgia Tech.
Frazier, a 5-10, 155-pound, junior from Glennville, Ga., scored 35 points against the Yellow Jackets, the highest output ever by a Georgia player against Tech. He connected on 9-of-14 (.643) shots from the floor, including 6-of-9 (.667) from 3-point range, and 11-of-12 (.917) from the free throw line.
