He also shot 61.1 percent from the field and 80.0 percent from the charity stripe.

The junior began the week notching his fifth double-double of the season behind 12 points and 12 rebounds in a 74-65 victory at West Georgia. The Waldorf, Md. native closed the week, scoring 14 of his team-high 18 points in the first half in a 75-72 loss at North Alabama. He also pulled down six rebounds and was a perfect 6-for-6 at the foul line in 28 minutes versus the Lions.

Flowers and the rest of the Falcons will return to action Thursday, Jan. 15 at 7:30 p.m. as they take on the University of Alabama-Huntsville in GSC East Division action.
