WBB picked to win BIG EAST; Blockton is Preseason POY
Junior Allazia Blockton has been unanimously selected as the 2017 BIG EAST Preseason Player of the Year and the women's basketball team was also the unanimous favorite in the preseason coaches' poll. Fellow classmates Erika Davenport and Natisha Hiedeman were selected to the preseason All-BIG EAST team.
The Golden Eagles are the reigning BIG EAST Tournament champions and return four starters and 10 letterwinners from that squad. Marquette earned all 81 available points to sit atop the poll, which was conducted by the league's head coaches who were not permitted to vote for their own team.
Huge congrats to @ZayaGDB for being selected as unanimous #BIGEASTwbb Preseason Player of the Year! https://t.co/tO6RBXx9yX pic.twitter.com/E1rXNspdzh
