Named the MIAA Men's Basketball Athlete of the Week as well after his efforts in two home wins last weekend.

Samac had a huge week in a pair of home wins for the Tigers, coming off the bench to average 25 points per game by recording back-to-back 25-point games. The 25 points is a career high for Samac. He shot 10-of-14 from the field and pulled down nine rebounds in each game, just missing double-doubles in each contest.

In an 88-77 win over Nebraska-Kearney, he sparked a 21-9 run by the Tigers to close the game by scoring a 3-point play to push a Tiger lead to four points, then dished out a pair of assists on 3-point field goals to get the lead to eight. His final points came with just over three minutes to go to push the lead to eight once more.

In a 73-66 win over Emporia State, he hit a shot with 3:33 remaining to put the Tigers in front by one and they never trailed the rest of the way. The basket started a 14-6 Tiger run to close the game.
