Drops 38 in losing effort Dunn closed with 38 points (13-18 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 42 minutes during Tuesday's 89-87 OT loss to Vanderbilt.

Impact Dunn has only played in three games this season -- two bolstered by overtime minutes -- but has already accumulated a 29.7 ppg scoring average on 63.4 percent shooting. It's an incredible number that is perhaps unsustainable given the fact he shot 33.3 and 39.4 percent over the last two seasons, though some improvement certainly isn't out of the question. Temple continues to challenge itself in non-conference play with upcoming matchups against Rutgers (Nov. 18) and St. John's (Nov. 21), which likely means more chances for the Owls to lean heavily on Dunn.
