OMARI DeVEAUX | VIRGINIA WESLEYAN | GUARD
DeVeaux, a graduate student from Henrico, Va., had two big games for very different reasons as Virginia Wesleyan claimed top spot (6-1) in the ODAC table with wins over No. 5 Randolph-Macon (65-64) and at EMU (60-44). Against RMC, DeVeaux came up big in the clutch not once but twice. He hit a game-tying three-pointer with 32-seconds to play and then, after the Yellow Jackets retook the lead, he drilled a double-clutched three-pointer for a 65-64 lead with 0.4 on the clock. DeVeaux finished with a game-high 18 points to go with four boards and a pair of assists. He was 7-of-15 from the field including 3-of-6 from deep. At EMU, DeVeaux went 9-of-13 from the floor and 7-of-10 from the stripe on the way to 28 points. He made 3-of-5 shots from beyond the arc and pulled down 10 boards for his first double-double of the season. He also chipped in two assists and two steals. For the season, DeVeaux is second in the ODAC in scoring (21.1) and averages 4.8 rebounds per game. He is fifth in free throw shooting (.796, 78-of-98) and 13th in assists (42).
