Mid-American Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Week Release

Cleveland, Ohio – BGSU senior forward Spencer Parker, who posted back-to-back 20-plus point games to lead the Falcons to two straight MAC road wins, last week was rewarded for his efforts by being named the YP.com MAC East Division Men's Basketball Player of the Week by the league office on Monday, Jan. 18.

Parker was clutch from the field offensively, as he shot 55.6 percent (15-of-27) from the floor overall, shot 75 percent (3-of-4) from the three-point line and shot 76.9 percent (10-of-13) from the charity stripe.

In the win over Ohio in Athens on Jan. 12, Parker tallied 15 points in the second half alone, to lead the way with a game-high 22 points for his fourth 20-plus scoring game of the season. He was 8-of-15 from the field overall and was a perfect 2-of-2 from behind the three-point line and 4-of-4 from the free throw line, as he helped the Falcons' erase a 14-point deficit to earn the road win.

In BGSU's road victory at Eastern Michigan on Saturday, Parker poured in 21 points, including 12 second-half points, as the forward was 7-of-12 from the field overall. Parker added seven rebounds which was tied for the team lead as well. He also had five assists in the win, in which BGSU lead by as much as 20 on the road.

Parker has now posted five 20+plus point performances on the season for the Falcons. He is inching closer to the 1,000 career points mark, as he now has amassed 923 career points as a Falcon. In his final year at BGSU, Parker is averaging career-highs with 14.1 points and 6.1 rebounds per game. He is also shooting 49.1 percent from the field overall on the season.

The weekly conference award is the first for the four-year Falcon.
