Connecticut's Maya Moore is the Big East's player of the year for the second consecutive season. The sophomore, who averaged 18.9 points and 9.1 rebounds for the top-ranked Huskies (30-0), is the first back-to-back winner since 2004, when Diana Taurasi won her second award. Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma and Villanova's Harry Perretta shared the coach of the year honors Friday.
