Sort of. The biggest problem with the gi-normous Big East is picking all-conference squads. The BE goes weird with 11 member 1st and 2nd teams. That doesn’t even get to honorable mention.

*denotes unanimous selection

Now, sometime tomorrow, the Big East Blog will be releasing the blog-version, though there will be actual squads of 5 based on our votes. There will ultimately be 4 all-conf. squads and 3 all-rookie teams. Each blog voter just went 3 squad and 2 squad respectively.

Here’s what my votes looked like:

Rookie Team

1st team
Dominic James
Devan Downey
Wilson Chandler
Jeff Adrien
Sam Young

2nd Team
Levance Fields
Jerel McNeal
Eric Devendorf
Anthony Mason, Jr.
Terrance Williams

All Big East

1st team
Douby
Foye
Pittsnogle
Ray
Gay

2nd team
Quinn
Gansey
Gray
Novak
Armstrong

3d team
Hicks
Green
Whitney
Dean
McNamara

I probably shouldn’t have had McNamara, and put Marcus Williams there, but I used a heretofor unknown and unspoken morals clause to exclude him (okay, I just forgot. That’s the other problem with 16 teams to examine, it is too easy to miss someone obvious).

I wish I could have had Gray on the first team. If for no other reason than to list: Gay, Ray, Gray.

I’ll list my individual awards later.
