NEW YORK — The Big East Conference honored Georgetown coach Tasha Butts, who died Monday after a two-year battle with breast cancer. The conference held a moment of silence, and the league's head coaches wore Tasha Tough pins. UConn was once again the unanimous choice to win the conference. The Huskies have won 22 regular season titles and 21 Big East Tournament championships. Paige Bueckers was chosen as the conference's preseason player of the year, and the Huskies' KK Arnold was picked for freshman of the year.
