The Mustangs’ top scorer, Riley was fourth in the conference in scoring (16.6 PPG), sixth in steals (1.7 SPG), and 10th in minutes played (31.4 MPG). He led the team in scoring 14 of 30 games. The junior had only four game with less than 10 points and six games without a single steal. Riley was named the Offensive Player of the Week on January 3 for his effort in the two big wins over Colorado Christian and Colorado School of Mines. In the victory over Colorado Christian, Riley nailed the game-winning shot with one tick left on the board. Five Mustangs recorded 10 points or better with Riley being one of them. He had 17 points. Riley finished with a game-high eight rebounds also. Riley then had 22 points with 10 credits coming at the charity stripe in the huge win over, at the time, undefeated Colorado School of Mines.
