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.
Â
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.
Â
This marks the second time this season, and seventh time in his career, that Jalen has been named an Athlete of the Week.
