The MCC athletic department is pleased to announce that Oscar Kao has been named ICCAC's Division I Men's Basketball Athlete of the Week. Last week the Tigers played three games as Kao totaled 52 points in 91 minutes of play. Going 24-39 from the field and 12-30 from three, Kao was as efficient as he has been all year.

"Oscar has put together a solid body of work this season," stated Head Coach Brynjar Brynjarsson. "Last week was an example of what he can do. He works hard and does everything the right way so we expect a lot from him the rest of the season."

Kao and the rest of the men's basketball team will be back in action Wednesday, January 17 when they host the Blackhawks of Southeastern in the Student Activity Center at 7:00.
