College career

As a freshman at Xavier, Bluiett was second on the team in scoring at 11.0 points per game. He was a Big East All-Rookie Team honoree. In Xavier's first three games, he averaged 18.0 points and 5.3 rebounds per game and was named Big East Rookie of the Week. He repeated as rookie of the week on February 2 after averaging 15.0 points and 3.5 rebounds per game in games against Georgetown and Seton Hall.[1] However, he admitted to being "lackadaisical and didn't have energy", and he had a slump at the end of the season.[3]

Coming into his sophomore year, Bluiett overhauled his diet and decreased his body fat.[3] He was named to the 35-man midseason watchlist for the Naismith Trophy on February 11, 2016.[4] At the conclusion of the regular season, Bluiett was selected as a USA Today Third-team All-American[5] as well as selected to the First Team All-Big East.[6] Following the season he entered his name in the NBA Pre-Draft, but withdrew his name prior to the deadline and will return to Xavier.[7]
