Senior of the week
Guard Evan Gilyard Kansas City
How much of a hot streak is Evan Gilyard on? Well, 3 senior of the week honors in the last 5 weeks are a good indication. Gilyard continues to lead a surging Kansas City squad as we close in on the Summit League Tournament. The Roos got a crucial road sweep against North Dakota and North Dakota State, putting them in position for a potential 2 seed with a big last weekend. This week Gilyard averaged an impressive 26 points and an equally eye-popping 6.5 assists.

Defensive Player of the Week
Guard/Forward Marvin Nesbitt Kansas City
There aren’t many players that have stood out as a consistent defensive player of the year in the Summit League this year, maybe Nesbitt is trying to change that. Nesbitt takes home his 3rd defensive player of the week award in the last 4 weeks. It doesn’t seem to be an accident that Nesbitt is putting up big numbers on the defensive end and Kansas City continues to win at the highest level they have this season. Nesbitt averaged 2 steals and 2 blocks in his two games this week. An undefeated week for the Roos.
