Jeff Green of Georgetown was given the Dave Gavitt Trophy, awarded to the tournament's most outstanding player.

The thirteenth through sixteenth finishers (Seton Hall, South Florida, Rutgers, and Cincinnati) did not take part.

After Pittsburgh cut the lead to 13–11 with 9:04 remaining, Georgetown went on a huge run and led 28–13 with 2:58 left.

Pittsburgh was in the championship game for the sixth time in seven years, but set a record for fewest points in a Big East final.
