NEW YORK -- Butler's Michael Ajayi - named BIG EAST Player of the Week on Monday - was honored by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association as one of its five Oscar Roberson National Players of the Week.
Each Tuesday during the regular season, the USBWA will select five standouts from the 31 Division I conference players of the week to be recognized. This week's selections were chosen from a list of the conferences that named a player of the week on Monday.
Ajayi helped lead Butler to a 2-0 record this past week, as the Bulldogs captured both games in the Greenbriar Tip-Off Classic.
