Individual awards are nice.
I think that UCONN has built a TEAM first mentality and believe that the players just want to see the wins keep coming. To be part of the last team standing in April is much more meaningful than a weekly award in January which means someone had two good or great games in a row - season long consistency is much better.

Xavier’s Olivari Named Player of the Week
Xavier guard Quincy Olivari has been named BIG EAST Player of the Week and for a sixth time this season Connecticut guard Stephon Castle had been chosen BIG EAST Freshman of the Week. Olivari’s week included a 43-point performance and Castle helped the Huskies to a 2-0 week.
castle continues to dominate the freshman of the week honors and tristen gets an honor role nod as well. honestly thought there was a chance castle got player of the week this week as well, but olivari certainly deserves it as well.
Stephon Castle, UConn, G, Fr. – Castle wins Freshman honors for the sixth time this season and the fifth time in the last six weeks. In a 2-0 week, Castle recorded consecutive career scoring highs with 20 points in a 74-65 win over Providence and 21 points in a 77-64 victory at St. John’s. For the two games, he shot 53.8 percent from the floor and 66.7 percent from 3-point range.
Tristen Newton, UConn, G, Gr. – Recorded two double-doubles in a 2-0 week. Averaged 17.0 points, 10.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists. In a win over St. John’s (77-64), had 18 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.

Preseason it was Garwey Dual from Providence but he’s had a miserable year. Not much else in the BE this year

For my money, it's Isaiah Coleman but I could see the argument for Swain. Swain's 7/6/5 game against Georgetown is probably the most complete game by a non-UConn freshman this year, which feels crazy to say. Coleman has a lot more upside as a scorer but has also had quite a few no-shows this year.

Most underrated player in the country based on these honors. Talk to UConn fans, Hurley, and opposing coaches and they know. Non UConn college basketball fans I know Cam is the first player they bring up from UConn.

If it is the coaches, then they should be asked why he’s not getting the votes that he deserves.
It would be nice to see who votes and whom they vote for each week. May be telling as to why he hasn’t even made HM.

Tristen Newton was just named to the Top 20 Watch List for the Wooden Award. If he's not first team Big East that would be highway robbery. Kolek and Scheierman are the only other Big East players on there.
