PROVIDENCE, R.I. — The University of Tulsa senior forward Junior Etou was named the American Athletic Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.
Etou averaged 17.0 points, 13.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game in a pair of wins last week that helped vault the Golden Hurricane (13-10, 6-5) into fourth place in the league standings. He shot 52.4-percent from the floor, 55.6-percent behind the arc and 87.5 percent at the free-throw line over the two games.
The Republic of Congo native notched a double-double in both contests and he now has six on the season, with five during conference play.
