Junior Aaron Holiday of the UCLA men's basketball team has been named the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for Feb. 26-March 4.
Holiday was also named the Pac-12 Player of the Week after scoring a career-high 34 points in UCLA's 83-72 win at crosstown rival USC last Saturday night. He made 11 of 16 shots, including a career-best six three-pointers (on nine attempts), and finished with seven assists and five rebounds. UCLA's win pushed the Bruins' overall record to 20-10.
Holiday was also named a first-team All-Pac-12 selection as the league's leading scorer (20.1 ppg) and has secured All-Pac-12 acclaim for the first time in his career. The 6-foot-1 guard from Chatsworth, Calif., ranks second in the league in assists per game (5.8), third in three-point percentage (43.9) and first in minutes played (37.3 mpg).
