It was a historic day for Flowers on Saturday, as the redshirt junior set a school record and broke the NEC’s 37-year old single-game rebounding mark with 27 boards as LIU snapped Merrimack’s nine-game win streak with a 67-64 overtime win in Brooklyn. Former LIU great Carey Scurry had set both standards with a 26-rebound effort against Marist on February 8, 1983. The 27 rebounds were also an NCAA single-game season-high, tied for 22nd in the NCAA’s modern-era history and marked only the seventh time this century that a player snared at least 27 in a game. Flowers also scored 25 points and blocked three shots in the victory. For the week, he averaged 20.0 points, 18.0 rebounds and shot 40.0 percent from outside the arc. Flowers, who hails from Waterbury, CT, ranks second in the NEC in rebounding (10.2) and double-doubles (12), third in blocks (1.7), and eighth in scoring (14.7).
