GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- One week into the college basketball season, No. 7 Florida has already snagged some league honors.

Wing Egor Koulechov, a transfer from Rice, was named the SEC Player of the Week on Monday. He was electric in the team's debut, scoring 34 points and matching a program record for most points in a season opener.

He finished the week with 20.3 points per game and 8.3 rebounds in three games, Florida's statistical leader in both categories.

He had double-doubles against both North Florida and New Hampshire.

On the season, Koulechov is shooting 45.0 percent from 3-point range and 45.5 percent from the floor. He's been nearly automatic at the free-throw stripe, too, at 91.7 percent so far this season.

Florida will return to action on Thanksgiving Day with a 10 p.m. ET tip against Stanford on ESPN2 to kick off the Phil Knight Invitational in Portland, Ore.
