Zegarowski was one of the top point guards in the nation and averaged a team-leading 15.8 points per game as a junior after being named the Big East preseason player of the year.

Zegarowski is the fourth starter to announce his departure. The attrition follows head coach Greg McDermott’s use of racially insensitive language during a locker-room talk following a Feb. 27 loss.
