University of Connecticut women's basketball sophomore Sarah Strong is already writing quite the story for herself not even two full seasons into her tenure in Storrs.

A national champion as a freshman, Strong has helped lead Connecticut to a perfect 31-0 regular season record and a Big East regular season championship in this campaign. She has the Huskies as the No. 1 seed in the Big East Tournament, which begins for UConn on Saturday (12 p.m. ET), and the favorite for the national title once again.

On Thursday, she was named Big East Player of the Year and Big East Defensive Player of the Year. By extension, she was a member of the All-Big East first team and the All- Defensive team.

As noted by UConn Athletics, she made conference history with her accolades not seen in the last quarter century:

This is just the third time a player has earned BIG EAST Player and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season and the first time since 2001 (Nykesha Sales, UConn, 1997-98; Ruth Riley, Notre Dame, 2000-01).

A native of North Carolina, Strong is averaging 18.6 ppg and 7.6 rebounds. She also gets 4.3 assists, a league-best 3.2 steals and 1.6 blocks. Those numbers would be even better if Strong wasn't forced to sit most of fourth quarters of Huskies blowouts.

She's shooting an incredibly efficient 59.4 percent from the floor and 88.1 percent at the foul line, making her one of the most well-rounded players in program history. She's the frontrunner for National Player of the Year and was just named an All-America selection by The Athletic.

The UConn men's basketball team will finish up the regular season on Saturday afternoon on the road against Marquette. The Huskies (17-2 in Big East) are looking to win the conference regular season title, however, if St. John's beats Seton Hall on Friday night (9:00 p.m. ET) they cannot do that.

If UConn doesn't win the regular season title, they will be forced into the No. 2 seed in the league tournament. That said, they still remain a favorite for a No. 1 seed in the looming NCAA Tournament. The Huskies have won two of the last three national titles.

If St. John's wraps up the league title on Friday, it will be interesting to see if Dan Hurley does anything differently in Saturday's game vs. the Golden Eagles.
