Langston, who is second among conference leaders at 21.1 points
per contest, has helped lead the way this season for the Owls, who
are currently ranked No. 6 in the country and enter Northeast-10
Championship play as a No. 1 seed. Langston is also averaging 6.3
rebounds, while shooting it at a 48.2 percent clip overall and 44.6
percent mark from three-point range.
So. Connecticut freshman Michael Mallory
has garnered Northeast-10 Rookie of the Year honors, as the
first-year player is averaging 15.8 points and 4.1 rebounds in 26.1
minutes per contest. Mallory, who has come off the bench in all 26
games, is shooting 45.8 percent from the field and 43.4 percent
from three as well.
So. Connecticut head coach Michael
Donnelly, now in his fourth season at the helm of the
Owls, was voted the 2014 Northeast-10 Coach of the Year by his
peers after leading the nation’s sixth-ranked team to a 24-2
regular-season record, including 18-2 in Northeast-10 play. As a
team, Donnelly’s Owls lead the Northeast-10 at 88.5 points
per game, while four of his players are averaging at least 14.0

second straight year is University of New Haven junior
