My Big East votes

I am a contributing voter for the Big East Basketball Blog online. It's a site that I look at regularly just as another avenue to keep tabs on Big East basketball, which I am a HUGE fan of.

We were asked to send in our ballots for the Big East postseason awards. I figured I would go ahead and post them on here.

I'll be honest, I struggled with Big East Player Of The Year. I was torn between a couple different suitors. Anyway, here you go. If you have any questions or inquiries, e-mail me at zach[@]espnlouisville.com.
