PROVIDENCE, R.I. — After helping guide The University of Tulsa men's basketball team to a pair of wins against Big 12 Conference opponents last week, DaQuan Jeffries was named the American Athletic Conference Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday.
Jeffries averaged 12 points, four rebounds, an assist, block and steal as the Golden Hurricane (7-3) knocked off Oklahoma State and No. 15/16 Kansas State last week at the Reynolds Center. In the process, the squad extended its home winning streak to 13 games, defeated its first ranked opponent since 2016 and matched its best 10-game start under head coach Frank Haith.
