Bryant Dunston (Queens, NY/St. John's Prep)
earns this week's PrestoSports/ Met Basketball Writers Association

the Rams dropped a pair of road contests.
The Rams (6-8 overall, 0-2 Atlantic 10) fell to Duquesne 74-62 and
#24 Xavier 68-50 as the conference portion of the schedule began.
At Duquesne, the 6'8" 252 lbs. senior recorded an astounding 19
