Last week, Camara scored 26 points in a 62-58 victory at Virginia Commonwealth on Tuesday and 17 points in a 70-56 victory against Saint Louis on Friday at UD Arena. He has averaged 14 points and 9.3 rebounds in 26 games.
Since the start of A-10 play, Camara ranks seventh in the conference in scoring (16.3) and second in rebounding (9.2).
With five games remaining on its schedule, Dayton (17-9, 9-4) sits alone in second place behind VCU (18-7, 9-3). The Flyers play at last-place Loyola Chicago (8-16, 2-10) at 7 p.m. Friday.
