TULSA, Oklahoma- Oral Roberts’ Obi Emegano earned his third career Summit League Player of the Week award after his play during the week of Nov. 16-22. 

Emegano averaged 25.5 ppg and 4.3 rpg while hitting 32-37 from the stripe. His play helped his team go 3-0, leading to a championship victory against Florida International at the Men Against Breast Cancer Classic in Harrisonburg, VA.

Emegano has led his team in scoring every game this year, including a season-high 31 points against South Carolina.
