Dunning hit 7 of 11 from 3-point range and 8 of 13 overall, adding seven rebounds for the Panthers (4-1).

Aleksander Pachucki hit a 3-pointer to give Bucknell an 11-9 lead seven minutes in, but Dunning scored the final five points in a 12-0 run and Pittsburgh moved in front 21-11.
Dunning hit a 3-pointer after the Bison scored six straight to pull within four and then hit two more in the final two minutes to put the Panthers up 38-25 at halftime. Dunning made 4 of 5 from beyond the arc and led all scorers at the break with 14.
