After setting a new season high at Kentucky last weekend with 30 points scored, Auburn Basketball’s Miles Kelly was named the AP national player of the week.

Kelly made nine 3-pointers, shooting 63.4% from beyond the arc against the Wildcats. He finished just six points off his career high of 36 at Louisville on Feb. 10, 2024, as a member of Georgia Tech’s basketball team.

In the Tigers two victories last week, Kelly shot 12-of-19 from 3-point territory, only missing 10 shots in two games.

Kelly is shooting 41% from deep this season and is the Tigers third-leading scorer averaging 11.5 points per game.

“I just came out feeling it,” Kelly said after the victory over Kentucky. “The first possession down, they went to me, and I knocked the shot down. After that, I was feeling it from there. Rupp rims, I love them. It felt good. Every time I shot the ball; I thought it was going in.”

The Tigers play Texas A&M tonight at 8 p.m. and can be watched live on ESPN.
