Texas A&M junior guard Manny Obaseki came into his own over the past few games. His emergence has taken a ton of pressure off Wade Taylor and Tyrece Radford with the ability to put up double-digit points. With the Aggies fighting for an NCAA tournament bid Obaseki adds another element to the offense that many teams have not seen on tape this season until now.
The SEC recognized the junior’s production after the big week by naming him SEC Player of the Week. Below is the excerpt from the release from the SEC officials:
Texas A&M guard Manny Obaseki, a 6-foot-4, 195-pound junior from Allen, Texas, averaged 21.0 points in wins over Mississippi State and at Ole Miss. He shot 57.7 percent (15-of-26) from the field, including 75 percent (6-of-8) from 3-point range on the week. In just his second game as a starter, Obaseki led the Aggies with 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting including a pair of 3-pointers against the Bulldogs. He then led the team again with a career-high 25 points in the win at Ole Miss. It marked his fourth consecutive game scoring in double figures.
