COLLEGE, a 6-5, 200-pound senior forward from Houston, Texas, have been selected the SCAC Men's
Basketball Co-Players-of-the-Week for games played from Monday, December

Oilar
was named MVP of the
Tampa Bay Shootout after the Tigers picked up victories over Case
Western (74-73) and Mount St. Joseph (76-72) to earn the tournament
championship. DePauw also earned victories over Rose-Hulman and Kenyon
over the last two weeks.
Oilar equaled a career-high with 13 rebounds
against Rose-Hulman and then topped it with 14 against Case Western
Reserve. He had a career-high 20 points against Case Western and then
reestablished it the next day with 22 against Mount St. Joseph.
During
the two-week period, Oilar averaged a double-double with 16.8 points and
11.3 rebounds while shooting 56.5 percent (26-46) from the field, which
included 50.0 percent (6-12) from three-point range. He also sank 81.8
percent (9-11) from the free-throw line.
For the season Oilar is averaging 14.4 points (12th in the SCAC)
and 8.3 rebounds (fourth in the SCAC) per game and is shooting 56.9
percent from the field (fourth in the SCAC).
Rogan
averaged 24.0 points, 10.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in
back-to-back wins over NAIA opponents Belhaven and Loyola-New
Orleans. The senior fell just two points shy of a new career-high with
25 points on 11-of-18 shooting from the floor and grabbed a career-high
14 rebounds for his third double-double of the year to help the Majors
to their first win over Belhaven, 75-70, in the Tim Wise era. Rogan
netted 15 of his game and team-high 25 in the first half, knocking down
a jumper at the 13:51 mark that started a 19-4 run for Millsaps and gave
them the lead for the first time in the contest. Against the Wolfpack, Rogan netted a game-high 23 points to go
along with six rebounds and five assists in an 89-69 win over Loyola-New
Orleans. The Houston senior, who is averaging a team-best 15.3 points per game
(ninth in the SCAC), hit the 1,000-point mark in his career two weeks
ago and is now just 37 rebounds shy of hitting the 500 rebound mark. In
addition, Rogan is fifth in the SCAC in rebounding (8.1 per
game), eighth in assists (2.89 per game) and tied for seventh in steals
(1.78 per game).
