Villanova forward Dante Cunningham was selected to the All-Big East second team in a vote of the league's coaches. Coaches are not allowed to vote for their own players. Guard Scottie Reynolds was named honorable mention.

The Big East changed its format this season, returning to five-member teams instead of the 10-member teams of the past three seasons.

The league will announce its player of the year, coach of the year, rookie of the year and scholar-athlete on Tuesday. Other awards will be announced Monday.

Six players were named to the All-Big East first team, with the player of the year coming from that list.
