Both have just one year of eligibility remaining.

Ihenacho, a 6-foot-4, 190-pound junior, averaged 14.5 points per game last season, to go along with five rebounds and nearly four assists. Starting 19-of-21 games played, the Prior Lake, Minn., product connected on 40.1% of his shots from the field, including 28.8 from beyond the arc.

That production landed him Second Team All Summit League honors.

His best statistical outing came at home against Oral Roberts. That night he netted 22 and pulled down 11 rebounds. He added three assists and a steal.

Ihenacho scored more than 20 points in a game seven times and averaged 18 points a night over a seven-game span in January through early February.

According to Hoop Scoop Media, Ihenacho had heard from George Washington, UTEP, Georgia State, St. Thomas, UNC Wilmington and Northern Illinois before committing to the Cowboys.
