Jared Cunningham named Pac-12 player of the week

Oregon State junior guard Jared Cunningham was named Bank of the West Pac-12 Men's Basketball Player of the Week for Jan. 23-29, commissioner Larry Scott announced on Monday, the second time he has won the award this season.

"It's a great honor to be named the Pac-12 Player of the Week," Cunningham said. "It was important for us to get a conference road win and it was extra special to do it in the Civil War against our rival. Our team has been working hard all season and we just keep fighting."

Cunningham scored a game-high 27 points and added seven rebounds and three assists to lead the Beavers to a 76-71 come-from-behind win over intrastate rival Oregon on Sunday in Eugene and became just the 36th player in Oregon State history to score 1,000 career points.
