The Big East Coast Bias Player of the Week award stays in Indianapolis this week.
Butler Bulldogs senior forward Roosevelt Jones, this week's recipient of the BIG EAST Player of the Week award, also has nabbed BECB Player of the Week honors. In the closest race yet, the O'Fallon, Illinois native received four votes to edge out Providence Friars sophomore forward Ben Bentil who finished with three after voting concluded.
At one point, there was a four-way tie for first place as Jones, Bentil, and Seton Hall Pirates guard Isaiah Whitehead and forward Desi Rodriguez each had two votes to clog up the voting. In the end, it was Jones who narrowly escaped with the victory.
In addition, Xavier Musketeers forward Trevon Bluiett also received a vote for Player of the Week honors.
Jones scored 19 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out five assists in Butler's big 74-68 win over the Purdue Boilermakers in the 2015 Crossroads Classic.
