Congrats to Tristen!

This makes the Big East look like even more of clown show naming Devin Carter CPOY.

Coach/Frosh/6th Man of the Year was enough…Conference POY would have been too much…

It’s not a coincidence the East Bracket is just what it is. A 6th title is being made as difficult as possible and it’s being done in a petty way.
 
Huge congrats to Tristen! The best all-around player on the best team. Deserved to make it. I think more of a team award than the others on the list, but Tristen is also a great player in his own right. As others have said, yet another fail for the Big East.

This
was in the making since last years title game.
They're wide awake and well aware now. Congrats#2!!!!!!

So the AP realized there were 3 better players in the Big East than the scrub from the .500 team that they anointed player of the year? At least the AP got both the BE Player of the Year and 1st Team All American teams correct.

I'll take that "scrub" on my team any day.
Take off the damn Husky glasses for 2 seconds.............................

Congrats to TN and all the UConn players for their successes this season
 
Congrats to Triston Newton! Well deserved. I have said multiple times that Triston is the most important player on this team, and he kept proving it to us over and over again.

We gonna miss Triston when he leaves UConn. He definitely should be one of the all time greats.

Add “Triston” to the misspellings of his first name. First time I’ve ever seen that one. Kid has been here 2 years, won a National Championship, and now he’s a First Team All American and some on here still can’t spell his name right. I give up. :)

Even with my UConn glasses off, Tristen was the best player on BY FAR the best team in the league. He earned player of the year on the court and the AP voters unanimously are of the same opinion. Carter is a nice player, plays hard and is the best on ball defender in the Big East, but he’s the 4th or 5th best player in the Big East. End of discussion.

We weren’t first in 2006? Maybe it was all the beers while being a student, but I thought for sure we were.

That’s my bad!

Duke was Overall #1. We were Overall #2. Villanova #3. Memphis #4.

That's also how it was in the AP poll.

Just looked up Tristen on Wikipedia. It states that Tristen led UConn to its 6th National title. No need to play the games!

Thats proof time travel is real. Clearly someone went into the future saw the tournament and came back to edit wiki.

Per @Storrs South, Newton is now a Consensus First Team All-American because he made First Team on 3 of the publications (and a 2nd Team selection on the other)
Expand ...
Yea I was just about to ask someone to confirm.

With Tristen first team for 3 of the 4 publications. That makes him a Consensus First Team All American correct?

Im pretty sure he would be but someone more knowledgeable can say with certainty.

When Newton was an El Paso high school senior, he averaged 37 points and 9 rebounds a game while leading the team to the state title. And UTEP had no interest. That is Edsall-level local disdain.

From the conversations around him last January to where he is now just unbelievable what a warrior. Well earned Tristen!!

Last year I cringed when Newton was pressured while dribbling. This year I’m relaxed and know good things are coming. Tristen has been a wonderful joy to watch. Congrats to him.

Looking forward to Tristen doing his magic during March Madness. Has grown his game at UConn-The trust Dan Hurley has displayed with him has been huge.

IMO- He has really improved his handle and the precision of his passes-on time and on target- since last year. Just adds to his substantial value to the team and his pro future.

Glad to see people outside of the UConn bubble are appreciating his talents in the form of awards/recognition.

He’s been the pepto bismol to any UConn heartburn for me all season. He always calms. Top 5 guards are so damn hard to pick. Kemba, Shabazz, Ben, Khalid, Tristen.
