The junior started the week with 26 points and eight assists, which tied his season high, and then he came back with 29 points and once again reached eight assists. He had 16 total assists against just five turnovers for the weekend. He has now scored at least 24 points in 12-straight games and leads the Horizon League in scoring at 23.3 points per game, including 24.5 points in League play.

This is the junior’s third Player of the Week award in the last four weeks and the sixth of his career.
