Fuller did a little of everything last week to help lead LIU to a pair of pivotal NEC wins. Averaging 21.0 points on 50.0 percent shooting from the field (13-of-26), the Canadian-born guard/forward added 4.5 assists, 4.0 rebounds,1.5 steals and 1.0 block for the Sharks, who eclipsed the 80-point mark and posted a combined average margin of victory of 21.5 points during that stretch. On Thursday, Fuller dropped 19 points in a key 83-61 win over then-second place Le Moyne. That victory created separation between the Sharks and Dolphins in the league standings as the two squads entered the contest with respective 6-1 and 6-2 NEC records. Two days later, the graduate student delivered his ninth 20-point outing of the year at preseason number two Central Connecticut in front of a national audience on ESPNU after he poured in 23 points to go along with six dimes, four rebounds and two steals. In each of his past four games, Fuller has scored at least 19 points and is averaging 20.5 ppg in that stretch. He leads all LIU players and is third in the circuit in scoring (16.6 ppg). This is his second Influxer/NEC Player of the Week award, and the sixth for a Shark this season.
