Kris Dunn, Trevon Bluiett named as USA TODAY All-Americans, Ben Bentil snubbed

USA TODAY revealed their All-America teams on Monday and two BIG EAST players are featured on one of the squads.

Providence Friars guard Kris Dunn and Xavier Musketeers forward Trevon Bluiett were named to the third team, joining the likes of Georges Niang (Iowa State Cyclones), Ben Simmons (LSU Tigers) and Jarrod Uthoff (Iowa Hawkeyes) on that squad.

Dunn, the 2016 BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year, has been widely regarded as one of the best players in the country and perhaps the best in the BIG EAST all season while Bluiett had a terrific sophomore season for the highly touted Musketeers.
