(Tulsa-AP) -- Oral Roberts' Tyrone Tiggs is the player of the week for the Mid-Continent Conference.

It's the second time he's won the honor this season.

The 5-foot-11 guard averaged 15.7 points and 9.3 rebounds in the Golden Eagles' three games last week.

Tiggs scored 17 points on five 3-pointers in Oral Roberts' 68-to-48 win over Maryland-Baltimore County a week ago.

The senior had 17 points and 15 rebounds in the Golden Eagles' loss to Minnesota on Wednesday.

Tiggs also won the award December 2nd after Oral Roberts beat Arkansas and Wichita State.
