The 6-foot-11 youngster from Rice Lake, Wisconsin dazzled with dynamic play in MU's victories over then-No. 8 Providence in Friartown as well as the St. John's Red Storm in Milwaukee last Saturday. Ellenson scored 13 and 15 respectively in those matchups while posting 10 boards in each contest as well.

Ellenson shot 11-for-18 on 2-point field goal attempts last week and picked up six blocks and four steals during the week as well.
