News: Jeff Green Named BE Player of the Year, and other award winners

Junior Jeff Green was named the Big East Conference Player of the Year today. Jeff is the 6th Georgetown player to be named player of the year, and the only non-senior besides Patrick Ewing, who won both his junior and senior years. Green and Ewing are also the only Georgetown players to win both Big East Rookie of the Year and POY awards.

Earlier this week, Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert were both unanimously named to the All-Big East 1st team. Jon Wallace was an honorable-mention All-Big East player, and Dajuan Summers was named to the All-Rookie team. Georgetown has had two 1st-team players in the same year only 2 other times, 1980 (John Duren and Craig "Big Sky" Shelton) and 1990 (Mark Tillmon and Alonzo Mourning).

Other news, since I'm not feeling inspired to crunch numbers:
