RJ Luis Jr. is the Associated Press Big East player of the year and Rick Pitino's a unanimous choice for coach of the year after helping St. John's win its first outright conference title since 1985. UConn freshman Liam McNeeley is Big East newcomer of the year. Luis received six votes for player of the year from the 13-member voting panel to edge Creighton's Ryan Kalkbrenner by a single vote. Villanova's Eric Dixon received the other two votes. Those three players make up the first team along with Marquette's Kam Jones, Creighton's Steven Ashworth and Zuby Ejiofor of St. John's.
