Another day, another award for Keita Bates-Diop.

Tuesday, the U.S. Basketball Writers Association named the Ohio State forward as its Oscar Robertson National Player of the Week.

The Big Ten Player of the Week, Bates-Diop averaged 29.5 points and 10 rebounds in wins at Iowa and against No. 1 Michigan State in Columbus—an effort he spearheaded with a career-high 32 points. He also leads the Big Ten in scoring with 20 points per game.

The Buckeyes are next in action Thursday at home against Maryland at 7 p.m. on ESPN2.
