UHSP won both games this past week and have won three of the last four with Bull leading the way on defense. The Eutectics play a home conference game against Cottey in their next regular season game on January 6.

In conjunction with Bull's selection, Mission's Ireland Jones was named the Offensive Player of the Week. The Patriots lone game on the week was a 104-98 road loss at UHSP, but Jones poured in a season-high 42 points against the Eutectics.
