Player of the Week: Villanova’s Darrun Hilliard

02/16/2015

Darrun Hilliard II, Andrew ChrabasczThis week’s AutoZone “In the Zone” College Basketball Player of the Week is Darrun Hilliard.

Westwood One NCAA Basketball host Jason Horowitz filed this report:

“Villanova is the cream of the Big East crop and Darrun Hilliard is one of the biggest reasons – and he sure played like it this past week as the #6 Wildcats hit the road and came back with a pair of wins. ‘Nova started the week with a 74-68 victory at Providence, with Hilliard scoring 16 points, but it was Saturday’s last-second victory at Butler in the best game of the day where the senior guard shined brightest. Hilliard dropped a career-high 31 at historic Hinkle Fieldhouse – including a game-winning three with just over a second to play to solidify Villanova’s place at the top of the Big East. That’s why Darrun Hilliard is our Player of the Week.”

Darrun Hilliard was definitely “In the Zone” and he’s our AutoZone College Basketball Player of the Week.
