The Big East awards are expected to be announced on Thursday (with the all-conference squads) and Friday (when the major awards come out).

Here's my take on how the awards could shake out although bear in mind that I don't have a vote (thank God for small miracles)

All-Conference
Tina Charles, UConn, Sr. C
Kalana Greene, UConn, Sr. G/F
Jessica Lawson, South Florida, Sr. F/C
Chelsea Marandola, Providence, Sr. G
Nicole Michael, Syracuse, Sr. F
Maya Moore, UConn, Sr. F
Monique Reid, Louisville, So. F
Liz Repella, West Virginia, Jr. G
Sugar Rodgers, Georgetown, Fr. G
Lindsay Schrader, Notre Dame, Sr. G/F
Da'Shena Stevens, St. John's, So. F

Player of the Year: Charles, UConn. A tough call between Charles and teammate Maya Moore but I am leaning towards the inside dominance of Charles over the all-court brilliance of Moore.
Coach of the Year: Kim Barnes Arico, St. John's and Geno Auriemma, UConn. The first five times Auriemma led the Huskies to an undefeated regular season, he received at least a share of the award so it's hard to imagine he won't at least share the award. But with who? West Virginia's Mike Carey, Georgetown's Terri Williams-Flournoy and even Providence's Phil Seymore deserve to be included in the conversation. I went with Barnes Arico.
Defensive Player of the Year: Kalana Greene, UConn. I don't think she will get the award and you won't see her name anywhere near the leaders in steals and blocks in the Big East database. But it should be noted that the players who received votes in the Big East preseason all-conference team were 29 for 116 against the Huskies this season and since Greene typically draws the assignment for guarding the opposing team's top player, she would be more than deserving of the honor.
Sixth Man of the Year: Kelly McManmon, St. John's. Not sure if she is eligible for the award since she started five Big East games but Ketia Swanier won the award back in 2008 after starting in four conference games so I would think she would make the cut. Anybody who hits 54 percent of her 3-pointers in a conference as good as the Big East deserves some sort of hardware. If she is not eligible, I would lean towards Syracuse freshman Kayla Alexander who gives the Orange 10.2 points and 4.8 rebounds off the bench.
Most improved: Monique Reid, Louisville. The Big East's scoring champion (in conference games) averaged 17.4 points and 9.2 rebounds after posting 5.9 points and 3.8 rebounds as a freshman.
Freshman of the Year: Sugar Rodgers, Georgetown. In a field including Notre Dame's Skylar Diggins and Shenneika Smith, it's hard to overlook the season the high-scoring Rodgers enjoyed when she averaged 18.1 points.
Sportsmanship Award/Scholar-Athlete of the Year: Melissa Lechlitner, Notre Dame/Maya Moore, UConn: Without being privy to not only the players nominated but their resumes, it's almost impossible to accurately handicap these awards. The Scholar-Athlete Award normally goes to a senior but it should be noted that the only Academic All-District first team selections from the Big East were juniors Maya Moore of UConn and Liz Repella of West Virginia. Personally, I would go with Moore but if it has to be a senior, the likely options are DePaul's Felicia Chester and Notre Dame's Lechlitner, who were both second team All-District All-Academic selections.
