After recording only the fifth triple-double in Ohio State history Wednesday, JaQuan Lyle earned a different type of honor Monday afternoon. The Buckeyes' point guard was named the Big Ten's co-Freshman of the Week.

Lyle shared the honor with Wisconsin's Ethan Happ.

In Ohio State's 94-68 win over Rutgers on Wednesday, Lyle went for 16 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. He joined Dennis Hopson, Evan Turner and D'Angelo Russell as the only players in program history to record a triple-double.

Lyle had 9 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds Saturday in the Buckeyes' 100-65 loss at Maryland.

For the week, Lyle averaged 12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists as Ohio State went 1-1. On the season, the Evansville, Indiana native is averaging 10.5 points, 5.2 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game.

Ohio State travels to Purdue on Thursday to take on the Boilermakers at 9 p.m.
