CARLINVILLE, Ill. – Eureka College senior guard Greg Kent (Chicago, Ill./Richards [Blackhawk]) has been named the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week. This is the second time Kent has been named SLIAC Player of the Week.

Kent started the week with a double-double in the conference-opening victory against Principia, scoring 16 points and securing 11 rebounds.
