Brentwood Long Island All-Star receives Player-of-the-Week Honors in the MEAC
NORFOLK, Va. – North Carolina A&T State’s Femi Olujobi was selected as the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Men’s Basketball Player of the Week, the conference announced today.
Olujobi was the MEAC’s top scorer after the first week of action as he averaged 27 points in two games & also averaged seven rebounds and shot 57.6 percent from the field. The 6-8 redshirt junior from Brentwood Long Island, N.Y. opened the season with a 34-point, 10-rebound performance versus Greensboro College on Friday and followed it up with 20 points and seven rebounds at Clemson as the Aggies finished 1-1 on the week.
Femi is an iLuvBBall alumni and has more than paid his dues. It’s been a long road for Femi , who suffered a horrible leg injury in his junior year which caused him miss out what most may say is the most important recruiting summer of his basketball career & most of the first half of his senior year. But Femi still managed to secured a D-1 scholarship at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. He never really found his way over there. He spent most of his first 2 years rehabbing and trying to break out. In 2014-15 season he played in 26 games, making eight starts posted season highs with 9 points and 6 rebounds in first collegiate start vs. Western Carolina, averaged 2.4 points, 2.1 rebounds, 12.5 mins per game in non-conference action. Then in 201516 he played in 30 games, making one start, averaged 1.4 rebounds per game, & scored season-high six points in back-to-back games at UIC and against Detroit.
Femi recently transferred to North Carolina A&T to player for Long Island alumni Jason Frasier from Amityville where it seem like a better fit for Femi. As he was the MEAC’s top scorer after the first week of action as he averaged 27 points in two games played. He also averaged seven rebounds and shot 57.6 percent from the field!
We wish him & his Aggies teammates all the best and good luck this season.
SBU beats ❄ and UNH on the Road
On a c❄ld 26 degree night in Durham, NH, Tyrell Sturdivant scored 20 points on 9-for-13 shooting, Roland Nyama had 14 points and Stony Brook pulled away late from New Hampshire for a 59-56 win on Thursday night in an America East Conference opener for both teams.
UNH’s Daniel Dion missed a 3 from the left corner with two seconds left before Nyama secured the rebound for the win. Stony Brook outscored New Hampshire 7-4 down the stretch. Bryan Sekunda’s 3 with 2:10 left put the Seawolves up, 55-52, for good. New Hampshire’s Jordan Reed made a pair of free throws before Sturdivant followed with a layup. Tanner Leissner made a pair of free throws to make it 57-56, but Sturdivant’s jumper with 15 seconds to go ended the scoring.
New Hampshire led 26-19 at halftime before Stony Brook used an 11-4 run in the first four minutes of the 2nd half to tie it on a Sturdivant jumper. While both teams didn’t really light it up NH was pretty ❄cold from the field shooting just 32% from the field (16 for 50) and 22.7% from downtown (5 for 22). Leissner led the UNH with 25 points and Jaleen Smith added 12 points.
