For the week, Whiting averaged 19.5 points, five rebounds, 3.5 assists, and four steals while shooting 52.4% from the floor and 85% from the charity stripe. He jumped to seventh in the ODAC in scoring with 14.5 points per game and also ranks 13th with 5.0 rebounds per game, fourth in assists at 3.58 per game, 11th in free throw percentage at .697, and leads the conference in steals with 3.05 per game.

With a 2-0 week, Whiting helped EMU vault into a tie for fifth in the conference standings. On Monday night, EMU travels to Lynchburg College for a 7 p.m. game.
