The junior averaged 19.5 ppg, 10.5 rpg, and 4.0 apg over two games. On Saturday’s win over Adams State, Oliver had a double-double before halftime, ending up with 18 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, and a steal. In Sunday’s overtime win over Fort Lewis, he scored a game-high 21 points, while also pulling down nine boards, and dishing out two assists. For the weekend, Oliver shot 52.0 percent from the floor, and 50.0 percent from beyond the arc.
On the season, Oliver leads the team in rebounding, with 6.8 boards per game, and also scored 10.7 points per game. He also is tied for the team lead with 2.8 assists per game.
