The games that are considered for National Players of the Week range from Jan. 29 - Feb. 4.

Charli Collier - Texas - Junior - Center

Texas' 6-5 big woman is playing the best basketball of her life. On Jan. 30 she posted 30 points and 19 rebounds in a victory over Texas Tech. Collier is an amazing free-throw shooter, making 82 percent of her shots from the stripe this season. Against Texas Tech she made 10-of-12 free-throws.

On Feb. 3, Collier had a season best 32 points and 15 rebounds in a road win against Oklahoma. She made 14-of-18 shots that game. Collier is averaging 22 points and 12.8 rebounds per game. She is shooting 50 percent from the field as well. Since Jan. 17, Collier has grabbed no less than 15 rebounds and scored 20 points or more four times in six games. Her scoring average is the 18th best in the nation and her rebounding marks rank fourth best.

Natasha Mack - Oklahoma State - Senior - Forward

Kansas is probably the happiest that Natasha Mack is a senior. The Oklahoma State 6-4 power forward dominated in two games against the Jayhawks in less than a week. On Jan. 30 she had 21 points, 16 rebounds, six blocks and four steals. A few nights later Mack showed no signs of fatigue when she whipped Kansas with 19 points, 19 rebounds, four blocks and four steals.

Mack is averaging 19 points, 12.3 rebounds and is on our shortlist for National Player of the Year. She has scored at least 30 points twice this season. She's had seven games with 15 rebounds or more and six games with at least six blocks.

Jaida Bond - North Alabama - Sophomore - Guard

This 5-8 guard gave North Florida the business on back-to-back nights. Jan. 30, she made 8-of-13 shots scoring 25 points to go with 12 rebounds. She also had a season best four steals.

On Jan. 31, Bond scored a season high 26 points with four assists and a steal. She made 6-of-10 three-pointers, which was the most triples that she has sank all season. Bond leads her team with 14.5 points and is third at 5.6 rebounds per game. She also paces her team with a three-point clip of 39 percent.

Kysre Gondrezick - West Virginia - Senior - Guard

The Michigan native's dream season has continued to get better. Kysre Gondrezick put up a season high 30 points against TCU. The 5-9 guard hit nine-of-17 shots and made all 10 of her free-throws. She also recorded her season's best nine assists for the second time this season.

On Feb. 3, Iowa State couldn't stop Gondrezick either. She scored 24 points with four assists on eight-of-15 shooting. West Virginia is 14-2 and Gondrezick is averaging 21.6 points, 4.7 assist, three rebounds and 1.9 steals per game. Since Dec. 21 she has scored 22 points in all but one of her last eight games.

Maria Roters - Fairleigh Dickinson - Sophomore - Guard/Forward

Fairleigh Dickinson is rarely talked about but Maria Roters is changing all of that, for this edition at least. The 6-0 sophomore collected a triple-double on Jan. 29 against Mount St. Mary's. Roters had 11 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and two blocks.

The day before she had an 18-point, eight-rebound effort against the same team. She shot seven-of-11 in the road win. Roters is averaging 10.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists. From Jan. 23-28 she scored 15 or more points in three straight games. Roters is shooting 53 percent from the field which is up from the 41 percent she shot last season.
