UConn senior center Tina Charles earned the Big East Player of the Week for a fifth time this season after averaging 22 points and 13 rebounds in wins over DePaul and St. John's. Speaking of St. John's, the Red Storm's Nadirah McKenith was selected as the conference's freshman of the week.

Hard to argue too much with either choice. Charles was sensational in Saturday's win over St. John's with 25 points and a career-high 21 rebounds. McKenith had 15 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and no turnovers against the Huskies.
