Parker earned his first NEC Player of the Week honor this season after leading Saint Francis U to a crucial sweep that positioned them in the fourth and final spot needed to host an NEC quarterfinal game with one week remaining. The junior guard from Mandurah, Australia averaged 23.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 steals, while shooting 62.1 percent from the floor, including 7-14 (.500) from beyond the arc. Parker set the tone with 19 points, five rebounds, four assists and a career-high four steals in an 81-76 overtime win at Le Moyne. He followed that up with a game-high 28 points - one off his career-best - in an 85-80 overtime thriller against FDU at DeGol Arena. He scored 22 of his points in the second half and overtime, and took over in the extra period, scoring nine points, capped by two clutch free throws with 14 seconds remaining to help ice the win. Parker ranks eighth in the NEC in scoring (13.3 ppg) and is fifth in assists (3.5), three-point percentage (.401), and made three-pointers (1.9/game). He’s been even better in league play, where he ranks sixth in scoring at 15.9 ppg.
