A day after being named MAAC Player of the Week for the second time this season, Siena junior OD Anosike was named the Eastern College Athletic Conference Player of the Week.

Anosike averaged 20 points, 15 rebounds and shot 59% from the field in three MAAC games this past week. He scored 17 points and added 15 rebounds in the Saints' 65-62 home win over first-place Iona. In Siena's win over Marist, Anosike had 21 points and 12 rebounds in 37 minutes. He completed the week with a monster effort in the Saints' hard-fought loss at Rider, scoring 22 points and adding 16 rebounds. Anosike leads the nation in rebounding (12.9) and double-doubles (17). His streak of 17 straight double-doubles ties Tim Duncan's as the second longest in Division I over the last 15 seasons.

The ECAC is the largest athletic conference in the country, comprising schools that compete in 21 sports (17 men's and 18 women's). It has 317 member institutions in NCAA Divisions I, II, and III, ranging in location from Maine to North Carolina and west to Illinois. Most or all members belong to at least one other athletic conference.
