UConn Huskies, Silas Demary Jr. Top Big East Preseason Polls

UConn was picked to win the Big East by the league's coaches on Thursday with defending champion St. John's the second choice. The Huskies, who made their third national championship game appearance in the last four seasons, are led by preseason Big East Player of the Year selection Silas Demary Jr. As a junior in the 2025-2026 season, Demary averaged 10.1 points, 5.9 assists and 4.5 rebounds for the Huskies last season following a transfer from Georgia and the SEC. The Red Storm received two first-place votes. St. John's is coming off two consecutive Big East regular-season and tournament titles — the first team ever to do that. Rick Pitino's squad made the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1999. They are led by preseason first-team conference selections Tounde Yessoufou and Ian Jackson. Villanova, Marquette and Providence were the next three in the preseason poll. Xavier was picked sixth. Creighton, led by new head coach Alan Huss, was seventh. DePaul, which had its best finish in the Big East a season ago, was chosen eighth with Seton Hall and Georgetown behind them. Butler, under first-year coach Ronald Nored, was the 11th choice. Here are the full Big East rankings: The Big East held its annual media day at a local New York hotel instead of Madison Square Garden, which has hosted the event every year since 2014. The event was presided over by new conference commissioner Tim Brosnan, who took over for Val Ackerman. Ackerman, who was the head of the conference from 2013-26, retired at the end of August.

Giants S Jevon Holland named the NFC defensive player of the month

The Giants wrapped up a 12-7 win over the Titans last Sunday when safety Jevon Holland intercepted a pass in the end zone and the play also wrapped up a stellar month for Holland.

Holland had an interception in each of the three games that the Giants played in September, which has already given him a career high for a single season. Holland was also credited with 12 tackles, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery while helping the team to a 2-1 start to the year.

On Thursday, the NFL recognized Holland's effort by naming him the NFC's defensive player of the month for September.

Holland will try to add to his exploits against the Cardinals this Sunday and the Giants will take all that he can give after losing quarterback Jaxson Dart and linebacker Brian Burns to season-ending knee injuries over the last couple of weeks.
