For the week, Chris Flores averaged 24.5 points and continues to lead the GWC at 17.6 points per game -- a figure that ranks 61st in the nation. He also now averages a conference-best 2.4 steals per game -- a total that lists 17th in D-I rankings.

Flores also became the program's all-time leading scorer in the D-I era on Wednesday, passing Isaiah Wilkerson (1,577) and has since moved into sixth all-time overall (1,621). He previosuly won GWC weekly honors on Nov. 14 and Nov. 26.

Flores, a senior from Dorchester, Mass., shared Great West Conference Player of the Week honors after scoring 17 points, pulling down seven rebounds and tying the program record with his game-high six steals in the loss at HBU -- coupled with a phenomenal performance earlier in the week against Fisher that earned him a spot on ESPN's Top 10 Plays.

In the 108-59 win against Fisher, Flores left the game with 14 minutes remaining in the second half after making all 11 of his field goal attempts, including 7-for-7 from 3-point range. In his 23 minutes of play, the GWC Preseason Player of the Year scored a career-high 32 points and according to ESPN, became the first player to score at least 30 points without missing a shot, while making at least seven threes, since Bryce Taylor of Oregon had the same line as Flores on March 10, 2007. Flores' performance was No. 3 on the January 31, 2013, edition of ESPN's Top 10 Plays.
