Iowa forward Aaron White was named Big Ten Player of the Week by the Big Ten on Monday. The honor is the first of the senior’s career.

In wins over Illinois and Penn State, white averaged a double-double for the Hawkeyes with 25 points and 11.5 rebounds. White shot 56.5-percent from the floor and went 21-of-24 from the free-throw line in those two victories.

White and Iowa have won four-consecutive Big Ten games, and Iowa is 19-10 overall, 10-6 in the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes are scheduled to take on Indiana at 6:04 p.m. today in Bloomington, Indiana.

Iowa’s last regular-season home game is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday against Northwestern.
