Omaha, Neb. -- Senior Diego Gutierrez became the first player since Creighton's Fabian Herbers (2014 & 2015) to repeat as the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year as the conference's Yearly Awards were announced on Monday, November 8.
It marks the sixth time in eight seasons a Creighton student-athlete has received the honor (2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2020). He is also the first back-to-back offensive recipient since 2015–Creighton's Fabian Herbers accomplished the feat in 2014 and 2015–and the seventh individual to do so in BIG EAST history (Herbers, CU, O'Brian White, UConn (2007, 2008), Maurizio Rocha, UConn (1997, 1998), Huey Ferguson, SJU (1992, 1993), Pat O'Kelly, SHU (1988, 1989) and Dan Donigan, UConn (1987, 1988)).
