TULSA, Okla. – The University of Tulsa senior forward Martins Igbanu became the fourth-straight Golden Hurricane basketball student-athlete to earn an American Athletic Conference weekly award being named to the weekly honor roll, the league announced today.
In a 72-56 loss to UConn on Thursday, Feb. 6 Igbanu scored a then career-high 29 points on 11-of-15 (73%) shooting from the field and made 7-8 (88%) free throws. He added a career-high 3 blocks and grabbed 3 rebounds.
Igbanu scored 20 of his career-high 30 points in the second half at UCF on Sunday, Feb. 9. He shot 12-16 (75%) from the field and 5-6 (83%) from the charity stripe, pulling down 5 rebounds in the process.
This marked the eighth time this season that a Hurricane player has been been named to an AAC weekly honor. Brandon Rachal received the AAC Player of the Week twice (Nov. 18 and Jan. 20), Martins Igbanu earned the honor (Jan. 27) and Elijah Joiner was honored last week (Feb. 3). Brandon Rachal (Dec. 2) and Jeriah Horne twice (Dec. 23 and Jan. 6) have been named to the weekly honor roll.
The Hurricane returns to action this Wednesday, Feb. 12, as they face-off against the ECU Pirates in a 7:00 p.m. tip-off.
