Unanimous first-team all-conference Gillespie was voted a unanimous selection to the Preseason All-Big East First Team by a panel of coaches.

Impact Gillespie joins Seton Hall's Sandro Mamukelashvili as the conference's first-team unanimous selections, with both falling just shy of Creighton's Marcus Zegarowski for the preseason player of the year honor. Gillespie broke out in a big way in 2019-20 in his second season as Villanova's full-time point guard, averaging career highs in scoring (15.1 ppg), assists (4.5 apg) and rebounding (3.7 apg). He'll likely get a bit more help from an emerging Justin Moore this season, but look for Gillespie to be one of the first names off the board in Big East-only drafts.
