Senior of the week
Forward Douglas Wilson South Dakota State
The former Summit League Player of the Year takes home his 3rd senior of the week honors this year. The Jackrabbits remain undefeated in Summit League play and Wilson is a huge reason why. Wilson was the Jackrabbits leading scorer this week as he averaged 20.5 points in a pair of wins. Wilson added 5.5 rebounds also.

Junior of the Week
Guard Max Abmas Oral Roberts
There is plenty of competition with Abmas in the Junior class. The fact that there is so much competition makes it even more impressive that Abmas is taking home the award for the 5th time this season. It was hard to argue for Abmas getting the award this week. Abmas scored 28 points twice this week as the Golden Eagles put some distance from the 3rd place teams in the standings with a perfect week. The nation’s second-leading scorer also added 4 assists per game this week.

Sophomore of the Week
Guard/Forward Baylor Scheierman South Dakota State
With his 6th Sophomore of the Week award, Scheierman has officially won the award half the times it has been awarded.

This week, Scheierman averaged 18 points, 7 rebounds, and 3.5 assists per game.

Defensive Player of the Week
Guard Marvin Nesbitt Kansas City
Back-to-back defensive players of the week from Kansas City are indicative of the Roos playing their kind of basketball and finding a rhythm. All of this is starting to show as the Roos continue to climb the Summit League standings. This week, Lamar averaged over 2 steals per game, and almost 4 offensive rebounds a game for the Roos.
