Dayton junior Dyshawn Pierre was named Atlantic 10 Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Week Monday. Rhode Island freshman Jared Terrell was also named the league’s Rookie of the Week. The awards were for games played Feb. 16-22.Pierre had an outstanding week for the Flyers, averaging 21.0 points and 11.0 rebounds while shooting .538 (14-of-26) from the field, .750 (6-for-8) from 3-point range and .889 (8-of-9) free throws. 
A forward from Whitby, Ontario, he also had nine assists and four blocks in the two games and he did not turn the ball over in either game. In UD's win over Saint Joseph’s, Pierre scored 15 points and had 10 rebounds. His two free throws with two seconds left sealed the four-point win. He followed that with a career-high 27 points and 12 rebounds at Duquesne, extending his double-double streak to three games. In the Saint Joseph's win, Pierre also became the 44th player and first Canadian to reach 1,000 points in University of Dayton basketball history.

Terrell played a major role in the Rams' 2-0 week, helping lead URI to its best start in A-10 history at 11-3. At home against UMass, Terrell scored 14 points, shooting 5-for-9 from the field and 2-3 from 3-point range. He also dished out five assists and two steals without committing a turnover. The win over UMass snapped Rhode Island’s seven-game losing streak versus the Minutemen.
