WASHINGTON – Georgetown University men's basketball center Omer Yurtseven was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll for the second week in a row on Monday following a 1-1 week for the Blue & Gray.
 
Yurtseven posted a pair of double-doubles in as many games to open the season with four in a row. He averaged 15.5 points and 11.5 rebounds. The senior shot 44.4 percent from the floor and 77.8 percent from the foul line for the week.
 
This is Yurtseven's second nod to the honor roll and the second of the season for the Blue & Gray.
 
His four-straight double-doubles is a first for a player under Head Coach Patrick Ewing. Former Hoya Jessie Govan strung together three-straight double-doubles four different times.
