Theodore led all scoring for the Pirates with 19 points while adding 11 assists in a 75-63 shocker over Connecticut. He followed that up with 9 assists and 6 steals in a 66-57 win over Providence.

This is the second StatSheet Big East Player of the Week honor for Jordan Theodore. He has also been named a runner-up once. The runner-up this week is Marquette senior Jae Crowder. Honorable mention goes to Kevin Jones, a senior from West Virginia.

StatSheet Big East Freshman of the Week: St. John's's D`Angelo Harrison

D`Angelo Harrison was on the floor an average of 39 minutes while starting both games for St. John's. He was number one among all Big East freshmen in both scoring (21.0 pts per game) and free throws (5.5 per game).
