Moses Ehambe, Oral Roberts

Sr., G/F, 6-6, Arlington, Texas/Mansfield Summit HS

Ehambe earns Player of the Week honors after averaging 29.5 points on 70 percent shooting last week. He scored a career-high 40 points at Western Illinois, setting additional career highs in field goals (12), three-point field goals (9) and free throws (7). He followed that up with 19 points at IUPUI. Ehambe became the first ORU player since Reggie Borges in 2002 to score 40 points in a game, and just the sixth player in ORU history to do so. His nine three-pointers vs. WIU were one shy of Chris Riouse's school record of 10 vs. Oakland in 2006, while his 14 treys in two games are the most in consecutive games in school history.
