Washington State men’s basketball freshman Myles Rice was named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week for the second-consecutive week.

The honor is Rice’s second career Conference recognition, following his first weekly honor for his career-high performance last week and the first back-to-back Pac-12 weekly awards by a Cougar since Mouhamed Gueye was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Week in the final two weeks of the 2021-22 season.

Rice guided the Cougars to two wins this week, scoring 14 points in Sunday’s win over Grambling. Rice has scored in double figures seven of his first nine games. The Columbia, S.C. native also dished out 11 assists over two games, including a career-high seven assists Sunday, the most by a Coug this season.

The Cougars are 8-1 and will travel to Phoenix to meet Santa Clara Saturday in the Jerry Colangelo Classic.
