One of the few bright spots in this tough season for the Georgetown Hoyas has been freshman Aminu Mohammed, who is practically a walking double-double—as a guard. Aminu has been unanimously selected to the BIG EAST All-Freshman team.
Ryan Nembhard of Creighton (G, 6-0, 167) and Kam Jones of Marquette (G, 6-4, 185) were also unanimous selections to the Freshman team, with Aminu Mohammed (6-5, 210). One can likely assume that BIG EAST Freshman of the Year will go to one of the three. The advantage of weekly freshman awards likely give Nembhard the edge for the season award.
The BIG EAST will announce Player of the Year, Coach of the Year, Freshman of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year on Wednesday, March 9, at Madison Square Garden at 2:30 p.m. ET. Other league individual awards, including BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year, Most Improved Player, Sixth Man Award and Sportsmanship Award will be announced Monday, March 7, at 11 a.m.
