SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - The West Coast Conference announced on Tuesday afternoon that Malik Thomas has been named the WCC Player of the Week for men's basketball.
 
Finding his groove over the last few weeks, Thomas came up in a big way for the Dons this week as he helped guide San Francisco to two dominant wins over Northern Arizona and Fresno State. 
 
On Wednesday, Dec. 20, the Southern California transfer finished with a then career-high 19 points in 24 minutes on 7-of-10 from the floor in a 91-51 victory over Northern Arizona. Notably, he knocked down a career-high five three-pointers on seven attempts from beyond-the-arc as he also made his first start at the collegiate level against the Lumberjacks. 
 
Less than 48 hours later, the explosive guard followed this performance by recording a new career-high for the second straight game as he finished with 22 points in 31 minutes on 8-of-12 from the field in a 77-57 win over Fresno State. Impressively, he shot 4-of-6 from distance for USF in addition to converting on both of his free throws. 
 
Overall, he also added six rebounds, one assist and one steal across the two games.
 
Notably, this marks the second weekly WCC honor by a Don this season as Ryan Beasley was previously tabbed WCC Freshman of the Week on Nov. 27.
