SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - After what was quite possibly the single best week of his collegiate career, Marquel Sutton has earned his first ever Summit League Peak Performer of the Week award.
Last week, Sutton led Omaha to a third-place finish in the Akron Basketball Classic. Facing off against Alabama State, Akron, and Lamar, he concluded the three-game tournament with 61 points and 30 rebounds. He recorded two double-doubles against Alabama State (22 points and a career high 14 rebounds) and Lamar (13 points and 10 rebounds) and scored a season-high 26 points against Akron (who received votes in the Mid Major Top 25). In addition to this, Sutton had a 47.7 FG% (21-for-44), including two games shooting over 55%, went 5-for-11 (45.5%) on three pointers, and 14-for-16 (87.5%) on free throws, including two games with a perfect 100%. Â
For his efforts, Sutton was named to the All-Tournament Team.
As of this week, Sutton currently leads the entire Summit League with 131 points and is second in rebounds with 62.Â
