The Big East’s leading scorer, Ben Bentil, has been nothing short of fantastic this year. His 21.2 points per game were nearly three points per game more than the Big East’s second-leading scorer, Isaiah Whitehead. Bentil was also fourth in the conference in rebounding.

The dynamic duo of Bentil and Dunn has been one of the best in the nation in 2016. They will need to continue their spectacular season in order to get past the NCAA Tournament’s opening weekend, namely the North Carolina Tar Heels.

Bentil will be dominant for the Friars but they’ll fall to the Tar Heels on the opening weekend.
