Daily News | Villanova’s Collin Gillespie named Big East player of the year
Collin Gillespie may have clinched the Big East player of the year award the same moment he drilled a last-minute, game-clinching three-pointer last month at Providence,Gillespie was the Big East favorite all along, as soon as he committed to return to Villanova for this season. He was the preseason choice for player of the year, and Wednesday, that prediction proved accurate. Villanova’s point guard was officially named conference player of the year, voted by the coaches.
Gillespie averaged 16.3 points and 3.1 assists, making 91.5% of his free throws and 43.1% of his three-pointers, both career highs. Of being back for one last Garden appearance, Gillespie said, “It’s special. I’m just super grateful to be able to go back and play with my teammates and my coaches. It’s been awhile.”
Wright has always talked about the Big East Tournament being a magic thing in itself — “you feel the vibe as soon as you get in the city.”
