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.

Hard to believe, especially after Saturday's game. IMO DC definitely earned it.

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

Castle's defense on Saturday was very good. People forget basketball is played on both ends, not just offense.
Don't think he needs a chip on his shoulder, but ok...
McCain on Duke, Cody Williams on Colorado and Walter on Baylor are all playing well but overall you are correct.

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

True, but when a freshman helps lock down the reigning Player of the Year, it should be noted.

There is only ONE metric, we are in first place by 3.5 games.

updating the tracker after taking two mondays off on vacation! now that spencer has been honored twice (!!) we can all focus our attention on the fact that uconn hasn't had a "player of the week" since newton won the award a month ago, and we have a total of one (!!!) award for the entire season despite being the undisputed best team in the nation
also worth mentioning that josh oduro got his first nod. he was probably the biggest non-cam snub left.

It's interesting how spread out the POTW has been. 10 players have won it and nobody more than twice. Going to be hard to pick a POTY in a few weeks. Curious if it's been like this most years.

If Ball is #4, that's not a good look overall for Big East recruiting. Contrary to that point, the B.E. is probably also the oldest conference in D1. 4 of the oldest 25 Teams..
