All-time favorite Non-UConn Big East starting 5

I'm just putting up a list of heartbreak with no particular concern as to whether these guys did what they did to us against the other BE squads:

DeJuan Blair
Peyton Siva
John Lenehan
Preston Schumpert
Darius Rice/Kerry Kittles
 
No love for this guy?

Hard to put the list together because of how p,,,,,,,,, off they used to get me but for some reason Jared Dudley and Craig Smith were both admired and despised (worthy opponent list?) for their rebounding against us. Dudley because he always seemed to just slip into the right place (through speed, IQ and hustle) and Smith was just such a brute force. I bet they would make great tape for teaching rebounding. Definitions of tenacity.
 
This is pretty darn tough - especially when you think of how many NBA Hall of Famers Georgetown has had.

C) Ewing
PF) Coleman or Mourning (Mourning played some PF with Mutombo back then)
SF) Mullin
SG) Kittles
PG) Iverson
 
All my picks are pre Dream Season players.

Mostly because there was the BE GOTW with Tom Gorman and that's who you watched for the week.

Pearl
David Wingate
Reggie Williams
Clyde Vaughn
Patrick Ewing

Walter Berry, Michael Adams and Willie Glass are very close contenders.

I couldn't stand Villanova. I can't think of any PC or SHU player worth a damn.

Walter Berry is so underrated. His NBA career was short, but he was amazing at St. Johns.

Really fun to watch in college. Unfortunately he was a bit of a tweener at the next level, but truly an all time great Big East player.
 
This is a great thread, I'm old enough to have seen almost all of them in person some time or another, when I get the time I will list a top 5 for each team along with a favorite and most hated from each one.
 
5- Pat Ewing
4-Charles Smith
3-Malik Sealy
2-Chris Mullen
1-Alllen Iverson

I just remember BLair making Hasheem his btch! I knew then Sheem was not NBA material. I really lost faith in him after those beatdowns where he nearly lost an arm.

Sham god had his best games against us. Kittles did too. Siva is another good one. My friend Ryan Gomes - of course with a little add in JC presser for entertainment.
