Pryor takes home his third NEC Player of the Week award of the 2014-15 season after leading the Colonials to a pair of wins to secure the #2 seed in the NEC Tournament.  Pryor averaged 23.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists, while shooting 53.3 percent (16-30) from the field, 56.3 percent (9-16) from three-point range and 85.7 percent (6-7) from the line.  In a 91-59 victory over Wagner on Thursday, Pryor took home game-high honors with 25 points on 7-10 shooting, including 5-6 from deep, while going 6-7 at the stripe.  He also added five rebounds, a career-high six assists and two steals.  Two days later Pryor paced the Colonials with 22 points in a 71-70 overtime victory over Saint Francis U, scoring 16 points in the second half and overtime as RMU erased a 12-point deficit to earn the win. In overtime, he ignited an 11-0 run with a three-pointer with 2:26 to play.  The Evanston, IL native closed out the regular season by averaging 23.4 ppg and 6.4 rpg over his final five games, including a 55.9 percent (19-34) mark from three-point range.  He eclipsed the 20-point plateau in each of his final four games of the regular season, and the Colonials are 7-1 when Pryor scores at least 20 points in a contest.  Pryor ranks sixth in the NEC in scoring (15.3), second in three-point accuracy (.430), fourth in made trifectas (2.27/game) and eighth in field goal percentage (.484).
