The award is Price’s second of the season and the third of the year by the Eagles.

Price started the weekend by posting his seventh double-double of the season with a team-high 20 points and 13 rebounds in USI’s 71-62 victory Illinois Springfield. He was seven-of-11 from the field and a perfect six-of-six from the stripe, while recording a pair of assists and two steals.

USI concludes the regular season with Senior Day Saturday when it hosts the 19th-ranked (NABC)/15th-ranked (D2SIDA) University of Indianapolis at Screaming Eagles Arena.
