The freshman leads the Hurricane on the glass this season, averaging 5.5 rebounds per game to go with his 4.8 points a contest. He is the first Tulsa player to win a weekly award this season.
Matt Reed was named to the conference's weekly honor roll after just missing out on a double-double against the Delta Devils.

The sophomore forward knocked down four of his five attempts from 3-point range (80 percent) and four of his rebounds led to second chance opportunities.
The Golden Hurricane will return to action after Christmas against Southwestern Christian on Saturday in the Donald W. Reynolds Center. Tipoff for the nonconference finale is set for 4 p.m. and will air on ESPN+.
