CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference announced their weekly basketball honors on Monday afternoon. Senior guard Tyson Dunn was named MAC Player of the Week.
Dunn had an exceptional debut for the Buffalo Bulls. On the week, he helped Buffalo to their first 2-0 start since 2018-19. On Monday, Dunn recorded a 24-point and 10-assist double-double that propelled the Bulls to an 83-82 road win at Old Dominion. In the win, he was 10-of-14 (.714) from the floor, including a buzzer-beating three-pointer to give Buffalo the win against the Monarchs. He followed this up with the program's fourth triple-double on Friday against Fredonia. On the night he had 14 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists. Dunn is the only player in college basketball to record a triple-double and is just one of 12 players to have two double-doubles on the young season. His 14 assists tie him for the fifth most in program history as he's the first Bull with 14 assists since March of 2007. He's the first Bull in program history to record back-to-back games with 10+ assists. His 12.0 assists per game ranks third in college basketball. Dunn's 24 total assists are the second most in the nation.
The Bulls are back in action tonight at Notre Dame with tip-off at 7 p.m. on ACCNX/ESPN+.
