Bronx, N.Y. – Former Fordham basketball Ram Bryant Dunston has been busy this summer playing for Team Hines in The Basketball Tournament, helping the squad to the quarterfinal round on Friday night in Chicago in the Wintrust Arena.
 
Dunston, who was inducted into the Fordham Athletics Hall of Fame in 2014, capped his outstanding Fordham career in 2007-2008 by earning second team All-Atlantic 10 accolades for the second straight year, as well as being named to the Atlantic 10 All-Defensive team and United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) All-District II. He also was co-recipient of the 2008 Vincent  T. Lombardi Memorial Award as the school's top male athlete.
 
Over his four-year career, Dunston appeared in 120 career games, starting 118, amassing 1,832 career points, good for second place on the Fordham all-time scoring list. He also pulled down 993 career rebounds, good for third all-time at Rose Hill following his graduation. Dunston is also Fordham's career blocked shots leader with 294 rejections.
 
Following graduation, Dunston played professionally in South Korea, Greece, Israel, Italy, and Turkey, where he just finished his fourth year with Anadolu Efes.
 
Dunston's Team Hines defeated three teams over the course of three days in TBT's Greensboro Regional from July 19-21, with Dunston playing a particularly important role in the regional championship game, a win over Team CP3, coached by Winston Salem native Chris Paul, scoring 12 points.
 
Team Hines quarterfinals matchup will be against Team Brotherly Love on Friday, Aug. 2 at 9:30 pm on ESPN 2. If they win, Dunston and the team will advance to the semifinals on Sunday, Aug. 4 at 2 pm ET. The $2 million, winner-take-all championship game will be Tuesday, Aug. 6 at 9 pm on ESPN.
