INDIANAPOLIS – Oakland’s Rashad Williams was blistering from long range making 10 3-pointers at Oklahoma State to earn Nike® #HLMBB Player of the Week, while Marques Warrick of Northern Kentucky collects his second Nike® #HLMBB Freshman of the Week honor after averaging 10 points in two games for the Norse as the Horizon League announced its men’s basketball weekly awards on Monday.
#HLMBB Player of the Week
Rashad Williams | Oakland | Junior | Guard | Detroit, Mich.
Williams played just one minute in Oakland’s first matchup of the week against Purdue due to injury, but bounced back in a big way in the weekend finale against Oklahoma State. The junior scored a game-high 32 points, recording a career-best 10 triples. Williams finished the game with 22 field goal attempts on the day, with 20 of them coming from behind the arc. His 20 triple attempts set a school record, surpassing Kendrick Nunn’s 19 in 2017 against Green Bay. The Detroit native’s 10 3-pointers are tied for second in program history. Williams also added three rebounds, two assists, and two steals.
