This is the third installment of a weekly series reviewing the last week of action around the Big East.
Marquette’s Justin Lewis (more on him and his team later) took home Big East Player of the Week honors after scoring 20 points or more in two victories over ranked Villanova and Xavier. Creighton’s Trey Alexander earned Big East Freshman of the Week honors after averaging 11.5 points and 6.0 rebounds in wins over St. John’s and DePaul. A Creighton freshman has won Big East Freshman of the Week honors in six of the last 10 weeks.
