Jalen Shirley continued his outstanding final season in Canada West basketball with another big offensive weekend for the Heat. The fifth-year guard averaged 21.0 points, 4.5 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals as the Heat battled the Mount Royal Cougars on home court.
His shining performance came on Saturday evening when Shirley went off for 26 points, marking the seventh time this season he's eclipsed 20-plus points in a contest.
One of just two players in the conference to be averaging 20-plus points per game, Shirley sits just 37 points shy from his own single-season record for points in a season at UBCO with four games remaining in the regular season, as well as 80 points shy of the Heat's career-record for scoring in Canada West play.
This marks the second time this season, and seventh time in his career, that Jalen has been named an Athlete of the Week.
