Brad Stevens is the top target of UCLA’s coaching search, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

Stevens declined comment in a text message to ESPN.

"I'm the coach at Butler," he wrote.

Stevens has been the top target for nearly every major opening over the past couple years.

Louisville defeated Syracuse 78-61 to win the 2013 Big East Tournament.

Peyton Siva of Louisville was named Tournament MVP for the second time in his career, joining Patrick Ewing as the only player to receive that award twice.

On the All-Tournament Team is Louisville's Russ Smith, Syracuse's James Southerland and Brandon Triche, Markel Starks of Georgetown and Notre Dame's Pat Connaughton.

Georgetown's Otto Porter has been named the 2013 Big East Player of the Year. Porter is the first player from the Hoyas to win the Big East's top honor since Jeff Green in 2007.

Joining Porter on the All-Big East First Team are Notre Dame's Jack Cooley, Bryce Cotton of Providence, Louisville's Gorgui Dieng and Russ Smith, and UConn's Shabazz Napier.

Dieng was also named Defensive Player of the Year, while St. John's Jakarr Sampson was named Rookie of the Year.
