Taking a break from the layup line that is St. John’s-UConn — the Huskies had the lead down to nine, the Red Storm responded with a 10-0 run — it occured to me we’re about 90 minutes away from the Big East’s awards.

The buzz is a close player of the year vote with Scott Reynolds likely winning it, but there should be some other close calls for coach and rookie of the year, as well.

For proof, consult the Newark Star Ledger’s media awards.
