State Farm Missouri Valley Players of the Week
P'Allen Stinnett, Creighton, So., 6-3, Gd., Las Vegas (Nev.) Brewster Academy [N.H.]
Stinnett scored a career-high 30 points, including 21 in the second half, as Creighton rallied from a late double-digit deficit to post an 82-75 win over a New Mexico team that returned four starters from a 24-9 team a year ago. Stinnett scored 21 of his 30 points after half, including back-to-back three pointers on consecutive possessions in the final 90 seconds that gave CU its first lead since 4-2. His 30 points were the most by a Bluejay in a season-opener since Bob Harstad scored 38 on Nov. 30, 1990, and six more than his previous personal best of 24 last winter against UNI. He shot 11-for-16 from the field, including 3-of-6 from downtown, as well as 5-of-8 at the line. He also contributed four rebounds, an assist and steal while holding New Mexico's leading scorer Tony Danridge (23 points) without a shot attempt in the final 8:26.
Newcomer of the Week
Dodie Dunson, Bradley, Jr., 6-3, Gd., Bloomington (Ill.) High [Vincennes Univ.]
Dunson was Bradley's leading scorer in each of the season's first two games, highlighted by his career-best 21 points in Friday's 67-61 win against UIC. By following up with 15 points Sunday at #19 Florida, Dunson is averaging 18.0 points per game. He also is averaging 4.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists in his first two Bradley games and has committed just three turnovers in a team-best 74 minutes. Dunson scored the first seven points of Bradley's season, as well as seven straight during a 9-0 Bradley run that gave the Braves a 61-50 lead with just 1:07 left against the Flames.
