The top scorer in the nation has put the Canada West Conference on notice.
Today (Tuesday), fourth-year UNBC Timberwolves forward Evgeny Baukin was named the Canada West Player of the Week in Men’s Basketball.
On Friday night, at home, against the nationally ranked Alberta Golden Bears, Baukin matched a career high with 30 points on 11/16 shooting.
He added 10 rebounds, five assists and three steals in what ended up being a thrilling one-point victory for the Timberwolves.
The next night, Baukin continued his two-way dominance by posting 23 points to go with seven rebounds, five assists and a pair of steals in an overtime loss to the Golden Bears.
Baukin is averaging 27.7 points-per-game which ranks him #1 in all of U SPORTS.
Last season his average of 17.6 points-per-game ranked him eighth in the conference.
Baukin was named UNBC Male Athlete of the Year and also captured four team awards including: Most Outstanding Player, Top Defensive Player and the Practice Wins Leader.
The Timberwolves return to action this weekend at the Northern Sport Centre on Friday (8pm) and Saturday (7pm) night against the visiting Trinity Western Spartans.
