ASU's Omier earns league honors

For only the second time in Sun Belt Conference history, a men's basketball player has earned four player of the week honors in a season.

Arkansas State University sophomore forward Norchad Omier earned yet another award after a week in which he led the Red Wolves to a pair of victories and a spot atop the league standings. Omier averaged 20.5 points and 14.5 rebounds in wins against Texas-Arlington and Texas State, stretching his run of double-double performances to seven consecutive games.

The Nicaraguan is one of only 14 players in Division I basketball averaging a double-double, and he's second in the nation in field-goal percentage at 67.
