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:

• The Big Ten Wonk gives Georgetown a 2nd shout-out after a nod last week.
• Tempo-Free Suburbia has posted Big East season final stats. While Georgetown looks great nearly across the board on offense (ignore those turnovers), I was surprised to see Georgetown ranked last (16th!) on defensive rebounding (allowing 33.7% OR by their opponents). This doesn't make a lot of sense to me, what with Seton Hall rated 5th at 29.1%, but I'm too lazy to check the numbers tonight.
• Camille Powell has run amok on the D.C. Sports Bog, so we got a story about Jeff Green's post-season award prospects (before his POY award was announced) and another on the Thompson family superstitions (see also the story linked therein).
• Here's a rambling post about RaMell Ross, as star-crossed a Hoya as there's ever been.
