Missouri Valley Conference

Drake went 2-and-0 and Brady Ellingson totaled 40 points and he is the Valley’s ‘Player AND Newcomer of the Week‘. The Iowa transfer connected on 12 of 17 three-point efforts (.706). He added 15 points during a road win at Bradley.

Ellingson joins Drake teammate Nick Norton and Missouri State’s Tulio Da Silva as players that have swept the league’s two weekly awards this season. The feat has been accomplished 16 other times. Illinois State’s Milik Yarbrough and Missouri State’s Alize Johnson are the only players to have done it twice.
