NEW YORK - Seton Hall guard Al-Amir Dawes (Newark, N.J.) has been named BIG EAST Player of the Week, the conference announced on Monday morning. Dawes averaged 18.5 ppg and shot 54.5 percent from the field across the Pirates' two victories last week over Monmouth and Missouri.

Dawes is the first Pirate to win BIG EAST Player of the Week honors since Sandro Mamukelashvili on Feb. 8, 2021.

Dawes was the leader for Seton Hall in its 93-87 win over Missouri on Sunday night, scoring a game-high 25 points and knocking down four 3-pointers in the win. It marked Dawes' second 25-point outing of the season, matching his career high that he set on Nov. 29 against Northeastern. The senior shot an efficient 9-of-16 from the floor and also pitched in with three assists in the victory. Dawes also added a strong showing in Tuesday night's win over Monmouth, as he scored 12 points on 3-of-6 shooting from the field and perfect 5-for-5 clip at the free throw line.

Dawes and the Pirates prepare for the start of BIG EAST play this week, beginning with a home showdown with UConn on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. on CBS Sports Network. Next, The Hall will travel to Cincinnati for its first road test of conference play against Xavier at 2 p.m. on FS1. Both games will be broadcast on the Seton Hall Pirates Basketball Radio Network on the SHU Pirates Mobile App, SHUPiraes.com, Varsity Network, SiriusXM and the SiriusXM app.
 
Nice bounce back week. He and the team desperately needed it. Sha is going to ride him so as he goes likely The Hall will go that way.

Congrats to Al!
 
When your outside shot starts missing so frequently and you have always been a good shooter, that can really get into your head. Very impressed with how Al played yesterday. Two makes to start, then three quick misses. but he fought past it and gave us a real good game, not just with his shooting.
 
Well, at least for one week Al shuts us all up.

As Dawes goes so goes the Pirates.

This Al is the one I was hoping to see all year. Let's hope it continues.
It wasn't just the 3 point stroke, he made controlled drives to the basket, had 3 assists and 0 turnovers.

I hope this is Al's coming out party - tremendous young man who works extremely hard at his craft.

Great to see this performance against an excellent team to silence the critics and to build his confidence.
