AUBURN, Ala. – Senior forward Keyshawn Hall has been named the Dick Vitale National Player of the Week for his historic performances last week inside Neville Arena.

In two games, Hall averaged 32.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 blocks. He tallied his sixth double-double of the season with 32 points and 12 rebounds against Texas A&M and followed that up with 32 points and five assists in leading Auburn to a 95-73 victory over No. 15 Arkansas, its third largest margin of victory over a ranked opponent in school history.

In the process, Hall became the first player at Auburn in 32 years to score 30+ points in consecutive games. The last player to do so Wesley Person in 1994.

Hall is the second leading scorer in the SEC with an average of 21.7 points per game. He has scored double digits every game this season and has 20+ points in 10 of his 15 games played. Additionally, Hall is 5th in the SEC in rebounding (7.8) and is the only player in the league to rank top 10 in both scoring and rebounding.

Hall and the Tigers travel to Columbia, Mo., for a game against Missouri this Wednesday, Jan. 14. Tip is set for 6 p.m. CT on ESPN2.
