The star sophomore averaged 21.3 points per game throughout the week, including 30 in a blowout victory over the Buckeyes at the Bryce Jordan Center.
He led the Nittany Lions’ offense all week, shooting 46 percent from the field over the course of the three games. Carr played extremely well against the Big Ten’s two best teams — Ohio State and No. 6 Purdue — en route to earning the first player of the week award of his career.
