Asher was an easy pick for All-Big East honors. The conference had a lot of star power this year, and our guy certainly added to it. Orval Juan will almost certainly turn pro, so I'd make Asher my preseason pick for Big East Player of the Year in 2031/32.
I'm really happy that Lowell Welter earned some All-Big East love. We don't win the accolades we won without him. He's a favorite of mine.
Reed Weisberg wouldn't have been a bad pick for the national Freshman All-American team. I don't see much separating him from Duke's John Crook. I'm glad he got the Big East award, though.
I usually don't take issue with the Coach of the Year vote. This year, however, I want to ask a few questions.
I'm taking nothing away from the job Gerard O'Neal did at Syracuse. The Orange hadn't had a winning season in four years, before the former St. Bonaventure coach arrived and led them to 21 wins and an NCAA tournament berth. However, the Orange exited the tournament in the first round. Meanwhile, their former coach, Joseph Owens, took a 32-win West Virginia team to the championship game, and Graham Sims' 36-win Villanova team won it all. For my money, both those coaches had better years than Coach O'Neal did. I'd have voted for Coach Owens.
