EUGENE, Ore. – Senior forward Eugene Omoruyi has been named Pac-12 Player of the Week after averaging 26.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game last week in a pair of games in Omaha, Neb.
The Rexdale, Ontario, native scored a career-high 31 points with 11 rebounds in the season-opener Wednesday against Missouri. Not only was his 31 points the most ever by a player in his first game as a Duck, he joined Kansas State's Michael Beasley (2007-08) and North Carolina's Cole Anthony (2019-20) as the only major conference players in the last 25 years to have 30-plus points and 10-plus rebounds in their team debut.
