Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Greg Monroe Named to the All Big East First Team; Freeman Named to Second Team

Greg Monroe was awarded one of the league's top honors, as he was named to the All Big East First Team.  Joining him on the list are Luke Harangody, Dominque Jones, Wes Johnson, Scottie Reynolds and Da'Sean Butler.  This is the first appearance for Monroe on the list, who averaged 16 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.6 assists this year.  Monroe was the Big East Rookie of the Year last year.

Austin Freeman was named to the All Big East Second Team, the first time he has received any end of season accolades from the coaches since being named to the All Rookie Team in 2008.  Freeman led the Hoyas this season in scoring, averaging 17.3 points a game.

This is the first time since 2008 that Georgetown has had a player named to the first and second team, when seniors Roy Hibbert and Jon Wallace were awarded the honors.  It is the first time a Georgetown underclassman was named to the top team since 2007, when Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert were recognized.

Player and Coach of the Year will be announced later this week.

Putting one on the first team

And one on the second is a really impressive accomplishment. As you can (sort of) see on the barely legible front page, Gtown finished eighth. Definitely shows the respect for Monroe and Freeman.
