The Scarborough, Ontario native was a stat-sheet stuffer averaging 12.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.0 steals and 2.0 blocks in DU's games against Robert Morris and Central Connecticut State. The 6-8 Mike began the week with 7 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists vs. RMU and followed that with a season high-tying 17 points - including what proved to be a game-winning 3-pointer with :15.9 left - in the Dukes' 70-67 win over CCSU. Mike added 7 boards and 3 steals in the win over the Blue Devils.
Mike, who has started all 11 games, is the second Duke to earn Rookie of the Week this season, joining guard Mike Lewis II who has won the award three times.
This is the first time since 2013 (Derrick Colter three times and Quevyn Winters once) that DU has had two different Rookies of the Week in the same season.
