CINCINNATI — Xavier University junior guard Trevon Bluiett has been named BIG EAST Conference Player of the Week for his efforts in road games this past week at Cincinnati and at St. John’s.

Bluiett scored a career high 40 points at Cincinnati on Jan. 26, XU’s first 40-point game since 2003 National Player of the Year David West scored 47 in a win over Dayton at Cintas Center in 2003. He scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in the win at St. John’s on Jan. 29, his second double-double of the season and the eighth of his career.
