    NEW YORK — Georgetown guard Austin Freeman was named the 2010-11 Big East Preseason Player of the Year by a vote of the league’s head men’s basketball coaches.

    “It’s an honor,” the 6-foot-3 Freeman told SNY.tv. “It’s a real big honor, just to be in the category with other players of the year.

    “But also I know that I’m going to have a bulls-eye. Everybody’s going to come at me so I’m going to have to be prepared for it and real focused.”

    Freeman averaged 16.5 points last season, when the Hoyas finished 23-11, 10-8 in the Big East. He led all Big East guards in field goal percentage, connecting on 52.5 percent of his attempts last year.

    In this video interview he talks about the preseason honor,  his battle with diabetes and Georgetown’s team this season.
