Despite record-setting season, Jones passed over for Big East Rookie Honors

Freshman guard Dominique Jones set the USF freshman scoring record and became the first Big East freshman to score 30 points in consecutive games since Allen Iverson did it while playing for Georgetown.

However, despite leading the Bulls in scoring, Jones was passed over for the Big East Rookie of the Year honor.

Two players shared the award — Syracuse's Jonny Flynn and Pittsburgh center DeJuan Blair. Jones, however, was a unanimous selection to the Big East's all-rookie team.
