SAN FRANCISCO – Washington State Men's Basketball senior forward Robert Franks has been named the Pac-12 Player of the Week for the week of Feb. 4-10, the conference office announced Monday. 

A native of Vancouver, Wash., Franks had the weekend of his career as he led the Cougars to their first sweep at the Arizona schools since 2006-07 and third all-time, as well as their first conference weekend sweep since 2011. WSU started it off with a 91-70 victory at Arizona State, Thursday, Feb. 7 and followed it with a 69-55 victory at Arizona, Saturday, Feb. 9. 

At ASU, Franks tied his career-high with 34 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks, along with a career-high 4 steals. Twenty-three of his points came in the first half, marking his second-most in a half, his most in a first half and most in a half this season. Two days later at Arizona, Franks followed it up with 31 points and 8 rebounds as WSU snapped its 13-game losing streak to the Wildcats and got its first win over them since 2009-10. Franks was 9-for-9 from the free throw line on the weekend and has made 28-consecutive free throws. 

Franks is averaging 22.6 points per game, leading the Pac-12 and ranking 15th in the country. The forward also moved into 21st on WSU's career scoring list and currently has 1,195 career points. With his 12 3-pointers over the weekend, Franks now has 141 3-pointers, which ranks 10th all-time in WSU's career record books. 

Franks becomes the 20th different Cougar to receive conference player of the week honors for the 29th time and the first since Josh Hawkinson was named Pac-12 Player of the Week Dec. 28, 2015. Franks becomes just the second Cougar to be named conference player of the week during Pac-12 play since 2009-10, as Faisal Aden picked up the honor Jan. 23, 2012. 

The Cougars look to continue their hot streak as they host cross-state rival Washington, Saturday, Feb. 16 at 5 p.m. at Beasley Coliseum.
