BE Weekly Honors

Not open for further replies.
Has there ever been a conference POY that hasn’t gotten any weekly awards? Cam is certainly on the short list for conference POY at this point. Although if he has a good game against GTown I think he wins his first one this week.
 
SC, TN, AK, and DC should recieve an award prior to the BE tourny.
CS should be a strong candidate for new comer of the year. If gets nothing, he will let them know during the BE tournament

BIG EAST​

Stephon Castle (Photo: Dylan Buell, Getty)
Leader at the turn: Stephon Castle (UConn): For the most part, the races for Conference Freshman of the Year are still pretty close and open to debate. This is not the case in the Big East. After dealing with injury issues early in the season, Castle is leading all Big East freshmen in scoring (11.7 points per game), rebounds (4.7) and assists (3.3). Not only that, he’s got a comfortable lead in each category.
The race is not even close. Castle is doing it on a Huskies team that has a very real shot at repeating as National Champions. Some five-star prospects don’t live up to the advance billing but Castle has been all of that and then more.

Names to Know:

Trey Green (Xavier)

Brady Dunlap (St. John's)

Castle has been so much better than any other freshman in the Big East that it would be disingenuous to call anybody else a contender. Are there some other promising freshmen? Sure. But it’s hard to imagine that anybody – media or coach – is writing in a name other than Castle for the FOY award at this point.

The next highest scorer, per BartTorvik.com, is Xavier’s Trey Green who is averaging 6.9 point per game, but does have the single-game high for first-year players in the league with his 23-point outburst against Providence. The only other Big East first-year scorer over 5.0 points per game is St. John's Brady Dunlap.

CPOY is between Carter and Kolek (if Marquette can win the regular season title).

Cam Spencer has better metrics than both of them (except for Kolek’s Assist Rate) and in some of them it’s not even close.
Expand ...
Cam or Newton definitely are in this convo, especially if we win conference in convincing fashion. If Providence misses the tourney & we are a 1 overall seed, it would be tough to give him it IMO.

Unless PC finishes in the top 4, maybe 5, teams in the conference Carter is not winning the BEPOY. I submit to you the 2011 BEPOY as proof. Does anyone remember who won that award? Whatever happened to him after graduation?

Stats don’t necessarily matter entirely for POY, have you seen Carter play?

Yes, a bunch of times. Friend of mine is a PC fan so I've been watching PC and rooting against them so I can bust on him. So if PC finishes .500 in conference play do you think he will win BEPOY?
 
The first BEPOY was on the 2nd worst team. So there is precident.

I remember that Trey Green game at the AMP. He put that game away and had PC fans heading for the exits early. Xavier blew out PC in that game and had the AMP as quite as a library.
 
It's interesting to compare team statistics to individual statistics.

Castle FOY again. Finally, Cam gets a mention.

Of course, that's exactly what someone would say if they were trying to hide a conspiracy.

Same as last week!

BIG EAST Freshman of the Week
Stephon Castle, UConn, G, Fr. – Castle earns Freshman honors for the eighth time this season. In a 101-65 victory at DePaul, he had 15 points and six assists. Hampered by foul trouble against Marquette, he had three points, three assists and three rebounds. The BIG EAST record for Freshman of the Week honors is 10 set by Syracuse’s Carmelo Anthony in 2002-23.

BIG EAST Honor Roll
Cam Spencer, UConn, G, Gr. – Averaged 14.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists in a 2-0 week. Shot 50.0 percent from the floor while compiling an 8:1 assist/turnover ratio in a 2-0 week which included a win over No. 4 Marquette (81-53).

Not to diss our guys but....

Castle didn't even a great week considering he had a down game against Marquette. The freshmen class in the BE this year must be weak.

Hasn't Spencer had much better weeks than this and not been on the honor roll? Are they making up for overlooking him a bunch of times?

It's a weak year for freshmen around the country, outside of Castle and two or three freshmen on Kentucky I don't think any of them are doing too much. It was considered a weak class and college basketball has gotten older since Covid.

All the more impressive for Castle he only had one year to Melo's 21.

McCain on Duke, Cody Williams on Colorado and Walter on Baylor are all playing well but overall you are correct.

Castle's defense on Saturday was very good. People forget basketball is played on both ends, not just offense.

Very good point. But I'm sure we all realize that these weekly awards are rarely given out for defensive performance.

I love Cam, but by what metric? He's still 10th in the conference in scoring, 13th in assists, outside the top 30 in rebounding. He leads in 3P% and is 2nd in 3 point makes, but that's about it
Expand ...
There is only ONE metric, we are in first place by 3.5 games.
 
We made a stink about Spencer and then he made Honor Roll twice in marginal for him weeks. Someone from the league office saw.
