He earned the honor for a fifth time this season. Ament previously won the award on Nov. 10, 2025, Dec. 1, 2025 and Feb. 2. He was also named SEC Player of the Week on Jan. 26, making this his sixth SEC weekly honor this season.
Ament averaged 28.5 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in two contests last week. He totaled 28 points, including 26 points in the second half, against Ole Miss in an, 84-66, victory.
