The 2010-11 Big East Men’s Basketball awards will come out over the next three days and on Sunday, the All-Big East Teams were announced. In that announcement, we find three members of the UConn Huskies men’s basketball team honored.
Kemba Walker was named to the All-Big East First Team and shockingly enough, wasn’t an unanimous selection. Freshman Jeremy Lamb and Shabazz Napier were named to the All-Big East Rookie Team.
The defensive player of the year, most improved player, sixth man award and sportsmanship awards will be announced at 11 a.m. on Monday. lThe player of the year, coach of the year, rookie of the year and scholar-athlete of the year will be announced on Tuesday between sessions at approximately 5:30 p.m.
