Francis is doing everything in his power to finish his star-studded Bryant career on a high-note. The senior forward has been unstoppable in NEC play, and last week was no different in leading the Bulldogs to a pair of wins. Francis averaged 23.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.0 steals and shot 61.3 percent from the field as Bryant maintained a firm hold on second place with an 8-2 league record. He posted his seventh double-double of the season with 20 points and 10 rebounds in a 79-68 win at CCSU on Thursday. With Bryant holding a 69-64 lead with under four minutes remaining, Francis converted a pair of layups to extend the lead to nine points. Two days later, he finished with a game-high 25 points and pulled down nine boards as the Bulldogs held off Mount St. Mary’s, 78-75, at the Chace Center. The senior forward has now scored 20 or more points in ten of the last 11 games. In NEC play, Francis leads the conference with 23.8 ppg, 9.4 rpg and 64.1 percent shooting from the field. Overall, he currently occupies spots in the NEC top-10 in scoring (19.9, second), rebounding (7.8, third) and field goal percentage (.591, 1st). Francis needs just 13 points to reach 2,000 for his career and he is the only player in NEC history to rank in the top-10 in career scoring (1,987/sixth all-time) and rebounding (922/10th all-time).
