Highlighted by his senior day performance against Rutgers, Morgan went for 25 points on 11-of-13 shooting in their 89-73 win.
The last time a Hoosiers player received a Big Ten Player of the Week award was Dec 17, which was also earned by Morgan.
Minnesota’s Amir Coffey shared in the honors as Co-Big Ten Player of the Week.
The Hoosiers turn their attention to the Big Ten Tournament this week as they face the No. 9 seeded Ohio State Buckeyes on Thursday at 12:30 pm EST, looking to keep their winning streak going.

Currently as one of Joe Lunardi’s “First Four Out” on ESPN’s Bracketology, if Indiana is able to get a win over the Buckeyes, it looks like they will be in the final field come Sunday, but a win against Michigan State on Friday would end all doubts about their bubble.
