Colorado Freshman Brittany Spears Named Big 12 Women's Hoops Rookie of the Week

Congratulations to Colorado freshman forward Brittany Spears on being named the Big 12 Conference Women's Basketball Rookie of the Week. Spears helped Colorado win its 10th straight game with a 16-point, seven-rebound effort against Pepperdine.

As for her name, yes, she really is named Brittany Spears, and yes, if you have a joke she's already heard it. And it gets better. Her roommate is a teammate named Whitney Houston.

"People say, 'Is that really your name?' And I say, 'Yeah, that's really my name,'" Spears said.
"It's funny," Houston said. "My name is going to be Whitney Houston long after they get through the jokes and stuff."
