Ben Bentil Named to Big East Weekly Honor Roll for Second Time

Ben Bentil has landed on the Big East’s Weekly Honor Roll of players that had good weeks, but not good enough to be the Player of the Week. That honor goes to a Butler Bulldog for the third straight week with Roosevelt Jones being named this week’s Big East Player of the Week after his 19 point and 11 rebound effort against then 9th ranked Purdue helped Butler to the win.

Bentil sees his name on the weekly honor roll for the second time this season. The Friar sophomore was also named to the honor roll after an impressive week that was capped off by hitting the game-winning shot at the buzzer to defeat in-state rival Rhode Island at the Ryan Center. Joining Bentil on the honor roll is Tyler Lewis (Butler), Maurice Watson, Jr. (Creighton), Desi Rodriguez (Seton Hall) and Jalen Reynolds (Xavier). Edmond Sumner (Xavier) was the Big East Freshman of the Week.
