Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

On ESPN2 now. It's Big East night in Los Angeles.

Mikail Bridges wins the Julius Erving Award, Delgado the Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Khyri Thomas and Kelan Martin also finalists, with Jay Wright and probably Brunson still to collect some hardware.

Nice!

Update as Wright wins the coaching legends award and Brunson wins the Cousy and finishes the sweep of POY with the Wooden.

I'm sure the ESPN people are delighted watching them hand out all these awards the the Big East

I believe Bluiett was also a finalist.

It's funny that the Kareem Abdul Jabbar award went to a Big East 2nd team member. Well deserved, though!

Marcus Foster from Creighton was a finalist for top shooting guard

It is fairly amusing, though the simple explanation is that the KAJ award had to go to true center while the All Big-East teams allowed for filling all the front court positions with 3s and 4s, which is what they ultimately did.
