The Associated Press national player of the week in men’s basketball for Week 8 of the season:
MARCUS DOMASK, Illinois
The transfer from Southern Illinois, where he was a four-year standout, had 32 points, six assists and five rebounds in leading the Fighting Illini to a 96-66 blowout of Northwestern. Domask followed with 26 points and five assists in an 83-78 loss to No. 1 Purdue, where he helped pick up for suspended star Terrence Shannon Jr. The former Wisconsin Mr. Basketball had a career-best 33 points on 13-of-15 shooting last month in a Top 25 showdown against Florida Atlantic, too.
RUNNER-UP
Yaxel Lendeborg, UAB. The two-time JUCO All-American at Arizona Western had 23 points, 15 rebounds and seven blocks in a win over UT-San Antonio, then had 23 points and 15 boards in a win over South Florida. He also had 24 points and 15 rebounds in the Blazers’ win over UNC-Asheville, making it three straight 20-15 games for him.
HONORABLE MENTION
Hunter Dickinson, Kansas; Sherif Gross-Bullock, Bryant; Jason Edwards, North Texas.
KEEP AN EYE ON
Great Osobor, Utah State. He had 32 points, nine rebounds and four assists in a win over Air Force, then had 20 points and 14 boards in a win over No. 13 Colorado State that helped vault the Aggies into the poll at No. 20 this week. After following coach Danny Sprinkle from Montana State, the 6-foot-8 forward is averaging 18.5 points and 9.5 rebounds.
