SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – North Dakota forward B.J. Omot claimed the latest TicketSmarter Summit League Men's Basketball Peak Performer of the Week honor, League officials announced Wednesday. Omot scored 21 points, pulled down eight rebounds and added a highlight-reel rejection in a game Nebraska rallied from a double-digit deficit to knock off the Fighting Hawks.
