Despite a disappointing last-second loss to Villanova in the semi finals of the Big East Tournament Kris Dunn put on a show this week at Madison Square Garden. Dunn averaged 19.5 points, 10.0 assists, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 steals in Providence’s two Big East Tournament games this week. That performance was good enough to land Dunn on the All-Tournament team.

Joining Dunn on the All-Tournament Team are Darrun Hilliard (Villanova), Dylan Ennis (Villanova), Jalen Reynolds (Xavier) and D’Vauntes Smith-Rivera (Georgetown). Villanova’s Josh Hart was awarded the Dave Gavitt Trophy as the Big East Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player.

Other ugly disparities on the stat sheet in Tuesday night’s game was 26/31 from the free throw line for Villanova against just 6/12 free throws for Providence and 13/25 from downtown for the Wildcats while the Friars managed just 3/10 from 3-point range.
