Jan. 31, 2005 LOUISVILLE, Ky. - University of Louisville senior guard Larry O'Bannon has been honored as the Conference USA Co-Player of the Week for games ending Jan. 30.

O'Bannon averaged 21.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists and shot 54.2 percent from the field in a pair of Conference USA victories for the Cardinals over the past week. He scored a career-high 30 points while hitting six three-point goals against Marquette, adding five rebounds, two steals and a career-best seven assists with no turnovers. The Louisville native was one of six Cardinals in double figures with 12 points and four rebounds at Tulane.

This is the fifth occasion a U of L player has been recognized as the league's player of the week this season. Francisco Garcia (Dec. 13, Jan. 3) and Taquan Dean (Nov. 29, Jan. 17) have each earned the honor twice.
