Calvin University fifth-year senior Uchenna Egekeze was named MIAA Men's Basketball Player of the Week on Monday.
 
Egekeze (Huntley, Ill./Huntley) won the honor after helping the Knights clinch a 14-0 MIAA regular season championship with wins over Albion College and Trine University.
 
After finishing with 11 points, nine rebounds, two steals and two blocks in a 74-47 win at Albion on February 19, Egekeze led the Knights to a 70-53 win over ninth-ranked Trine in Saturday's regular season finale with 17 points, two assists and two steals while leading a defensive effort that held the Thunder to 38.2 percent shooting and caused 14 turnovers.
 
This marks the second MIAA Player of the Week honor this season for Egekeze, who finished the regular season averaging 15.4 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.9 steals and 1.0 blocks per game for the 20th-ranked Knights.
 
Calvin finished the regular season with a 19-6 overall record and its 14-0 league record marked only the fourth time in conference history that a team finished 14-0 against league opponents.
 
Calvin men's basketball will return to action on Friday, February 28, when it hosts the semi-final round of the MIAA Tournament at Van Noord Arena.
