BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Following her record-setting performance on Sunday, Jasmine Walker has been named Southeastern Conference Player of the Week, which was announced by the league office on Tuesday.

- Walker had a monster performance in Alabama's win at Auburn, setting the school record for points in a game with 41.
- The prior record of 38 points had stood for nearly 30 years after being set by Amy Lannom against Florida on January 4, 1992.
- Walker scored 21 of her 41 points in the fourth quarter, going 7-of-9 from the floor and a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line over the final 10:00 of play.
- She was also huge on the glass, pulling down 15 rebounds, one shy of her career high, to become the first player in the SEC to have 40-plus points and 15 or more rebounds in a single game since 2003.
- Her seven three-pointers were a career best and also tied for the second-most in a single game in program history.
- Walker has scored double-figure points in every game this season, 10 of which have been 20-plus point efforts, and had double-doubles in 11 of the 19 games thus far.
- She remains the only player to rank in the top five in the SEC in points per game (20.8) and rebounds per game (10.2).
