Kris Dunn calls brilliant NCAA career 'a roller coaster ride, but a good ride'

Providence guard Kris Dunn fouled out of his (likely) final NCAA game on Saturday, and following his team's loss to North Carolina his head coach took time to praise his time with the Friars

"I really love Kris Dunn and can't tell you how much I'll miss him," Ed Cooley said during his press conference. "Many of you see where he is today. You didn't get to see how he grew."

Dunn - thought to be a sure-fire first-round pick in June's NBA Draft - averaged 16 points, six assists, and five rebounds over his junior season and alluded to his decision to stay in college for one more year in his postgame comments.

"It's been a roller coaster ride, but a good ride," Dunn said matter-of-factly.

Dunn was praised by many for his decision to turn down NBA money to stay in college and get his degree. Disappointed at fouling out, Dunn addressed the unfortunate turn of events that led to the Friars being blown out.

"My aggressive play got me some cheap fouls," Dunn said, before talking about his final reach in on Joel James. "I should of let him go."
