The Sixth Man of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year and Most Improved Player of the Year awards were handed out to three deserving recipients on Monday morning.
On Tuesday morning, the BIG EAST Conference announced three recipients of three regular season awards for excellent performances during the 2015-16 campaign.
Xavier Musketeers guard JP Macura was named as the BIG EAST's Sixth Man of the Year. The Lakeville, Minnesota native averaged 9.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists while logging 22.7 minutes per game this year. The sophomore guard's best performance was perhaps against Villanova when he dropped 19 points in the Musketeers' victory over the then-No.
