Big East All-Time Team | CBB REVIEW

There's no other way to put it. Dwayne 'Pearl' Washington brought excitement to the game of college basketball like never before, and in doing so, officially

Pearl Washington over Iverson...questionable

"You want to win in March? Jim Calhoun is your guy."

Best part of the article for me.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Out of his starting five, I'd say Ewing and Mullin were the safest picks.

Any of the other three- PG, SG and PF you could make a case for each player chosen or 2-3 others who weren't.

And it's entirely a nostalgia list.

6: Carmelo Anthony (Syracuse) The frosh stud led ‘Cuse to their first Natty in 2003.

Did I miss the other Nattys? Shouldn't it say ONLY?

Melo I kinda understand but for longevity there are a ton of better options so a 1 and done seems out of place. Delgado?????? Enough said...

No problem with anyone else on the list

Where you think the crossover came from?

I know right? The guy is a modern day rebounding machine.

 

[gampelcrazies]

How is rip not on the list

Ewing, Mullin and Coleman are all locks in my mind. And there are ton of guys not on the list who could be on par in the bench conversation. Certainly Okafor and Mourning, Berry, Rip, Butler, Pinkney, Charles Smith, Mark Jackson, Sleepy Floyd etc.

Whenever you stop and take a look at it, the talent that went through the Big East is really stunning. Man I miss those days of every game being a rock fight and really the old Big East Tournament was a great sports weekend.

My all time Big East starting 5 is Kemba at the point, Ray at the two, Rip at the three, Donyell at the four, Emeka at center with Caron as 6th man.

Lawrence Moten for Melo?

 

[scoscox]

My only problems with the list was Delgado over mourning, okafor, etc, Carnesecca over Thompson, and pearl Washington over AI or Brunson. Brunson wasn’t flashy but won the wooden award and 2 nattys. Hard to keep him off

You must be joking. We had a point guard in 2011 who had the best run in tournament history (apologies to Danny Manning). No way do I put any point guard in Big East history ahead of Kemba.

Kemba is already on the team tho. I worded that poorly. I didnt necessarily mean Brunson should start, just that he should be on the team somewhere. Any of the three of them you could reasonably argue over pearl to start

 

[Hoophound]

You can’t put anyone over Iverson. He was completely unguardable. His talent level was comparable with only a handful of players in history.

Ricky Moore did a pretty good job of guarding Iverson.

Ha. I knew that comment was coming the second I posted.

There is more than physical talent that makes a great player. What is in ones head and heart. I’ll take Kemba’s heart over Iverson’s talent.
