  "account": "Big East preseason awards are being discussed, with Silas Demary of the Connecticut Huskies being named the Big East Preseason Player of the Year. Demary is the only returning player from the Big East First Team, and he is also the best returning player in the conference. Silas Demary is the highest-ranked freshman in the 247 Sports Composite system and could be a strong contender for the Big East Preseason Freshman of the Year award. The predicted order of finish for the Big East teams includes Connecticut as the top team, followed by St. John's, Marquette, Villanova, and Providence. Creighton is expected to be around seventh, while Xavier, DePaul, Seton Hall, Butler, and Georgetown are ranked below.",
