Tennessee’s Scotty Hopson has been named the SEC freshman of the week, the league office announced Monday.
Hopson, from Hopkinsville, Ky., scored 17 points in 19 minutes during his collegiate debut Saturday against Chattanooga.
One of two freshman starters for the Vols Saturday, Hopson was 7-of-11 from the floor, including 3-of-6 from 3-point range. He added three rebounds, one steal and one block in the winning effort.
Four of his baskets were on dunks, including one listed in ESPN SportsCenter’s Top-10 Plays Saturday night.

What a fun team to watch. It's scary to think about how good this team can be. We are no longer mismatched in size.

What do we have to do to get this video playing in TBA before games?

You bet, and don't you think we rebounded better? We've got a good long season ahead of us to enjoy. Let's hope the Lady Vols can mature some too and beat some people too. We weren't supposed to beat many people, but if we can get everybody healthy, and Pat doesn't kill them, maybe we can compete and make some people pay for playing us.

This won't be the last award Hopson wins here. That dunk was one of the best I've ever seen....
