Senior Luke Knapke is Toledo's Male Athlete of the Week after averaging 22.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 5.5 blocks and 1.5 assists per game in double-digit wins over Cleveland State and Marshall. He also posted efficient shooting numbers with a 66.7 FG% (16-of-24), 54.5 three-point FG% (6-of-11) and 87.5 FT% (7-of-8) to extend the Rockets' winning streak to four games.
Knapke opened the week by registering the third triple-double in school history, tallying 12 points, 12 rebounds and a school-record 10 blocked shots (2nd in MAC history) in an 80-65 win at Cleveland State. He also became Toledo's all-time leader in blocked shots during the win over the Vikings and now has 163 in his collegiate career.
The Maria Stein, Ohio native then carried the Rockets to an 82-72 home win over Marshall by scoring a career-high 33 points, to go along with 11 rebounds. He was 12-of-16 from the field, including 4-of-6 from three-point range, and 5-of-6 from the charity stripe. Knapke's 33 points is the most by a Rocket since Tyrone Kent poured in 37 at Xavier on Nov. 17, 2008.
Knapke is the only Rocket to score in double figures in every game this season and ranks second on the team with 16.8 ppg and 9.1 rpg. He also is tied for first in the MAC with a team-best 3.0 bpg.
