Llanos named Liberty League Performer of the Week for fifth time

Posted

Felix Llanos (Queens, NY) would have preferred to still be playing for the Clarkson University Men's Basketball team this week in the conference playoffs, but the senior guard certainly saw his collegiate career conclude in style on Saturday when he scored 33 points, and that performance helped give Llanos a Liberty League Performer of the Week nod on Monday.

Llanos averaged 23.0 points per game over the weekend, with the Golden Knights coming up one win shy of the Liberty League playoffs. Against Union, he scored 13 points, and at Rensselaer, he tossed in 33 points, shooting 12-for-17 from the floor and 9-for-12 from beyond the 3-point arc. It was the second-most 3-pointers in a game ever at Clarkson, falling one short of Llanos's record set in the third game of this season.

Llanos finished the season with 482 points, the eighth-highest figure in school history, and 1,201 for his career, which was 10th all-time at Clarkson. His 97 3-point field goals in 2011-12 broke the school mark by 10, and he ranks in the top five in the nation in 3-pointers made. No other player in the Liberty League has come within 20 3-pointers of Llanos's total in the past eight seasons.
