Big East 2023-2024

[AntG168]

The Big East is going to be a slaughter house next season.

UConn
Marquette
Xavier
Creighton
Providence?
can all be top 15-25 teams

While:

GTown
St John’s
Nova
Seton Hall?

Could all easily be top 40-50.

And I don’t think DePaul will be terrible.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Those last 4 you named could be good or terrible, it’s impossible to know until the rosters are finalized.

 

[UconnFanDC]

Couldn't wait for the final four to be over before posting this huh? Lol. I still give Marquette the edge right now since they're returning pretty much every darn body. Not sure what we'll look like yet

 

[runner11]

Marquette can return everybody from the defending BE champs. Creighton can return their entire core but idk what Baylor is up to. They should both be top 10, to go with us.

Put St. John's in your top 5. Big East will most likely be the best conference in the country next season.

None of us know what we'll have but it most likely contains a crazy core with a few all-Big East types and the #4 recruiting class in the country. Sprinkle in the other guys who stay and a high level transfer or two and they're going to be really good.

uconn runs this table
nova & st pitino

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Don’t know if Providence can be great

 

[That Guy]

I expect UConn, Xavier, Creighton, Marquette, and St. John's to all be top 25 come tournament time next season. I think Georgetown might have a shot as well depending on who Cooley gets in the portal. Nova, Seton Hall, and Providence are completely up in the air for me, all three have young and inexperienced head coaches. I think Butler will improve because we know Matta is a great coach. I don't have high hopes for DePaul literally ever, and especially not now with how loaded the Big East is going to be.

 

[auror]

Does Butler have any players on the roster?

 

[gsmooth]

Don’t know if Providence can be great

Devin Carter and Bryce Hopkins declared they will return to PC. That is huge for PC

 

[Tenspro2002]

Put St. John's in your top 5. Big East will most likely be the best conference in the country next season.

Is that based on the assumption that Pitino running off Posh Alexander signifies he's expecting to replace him with someone better?

FWIW, I think Walter Clayton Jr. and Daniss Jenkins will follow Pitino to St. John's from Iona.

Jenkins already transferred once so will likely have to sit or come up with some reason he needs a waiver

 

[UCfor3]

It looks like every team will be good or solid other than DePaul, Butler, and maybe Seton Hall. Conference should be very strong.

 

[Edward Sargent]

I think the BE was the best conference this year

 

[tcf15]

Great start for PC

Providence guard Breed suspended indefinitely

Providence guard Alyn Breed has been suspended indefinitely after he was charged by local police with multiple crimes for an off-campus incident on Saturday, the school said in a statement.

quick and dirty ranking, which will change a lot in the next month or so:

1) UConn
1A) Marquette
3) Creighton
4) Xavier
5) St. Johns - should have been up here this year
6) Seton Hall - Samuels is good, but replaceable
7) Villanova - could move up or down a lot. I think Neptune got better as the season wore on, but the roster is in flux.
8) Providence - Hopkins will keep PC from being terrible, but a nobody coach and a roster with issues is not a recipe for success.
9) Depaul - Incoming class is a bit underwhelming, but it has to be better than what they have.
10) Georgetown - Cooley is starting from scratch
11) Butler - two of their best players leave for Appalachian State and SMU? Certainly says something about the talent they had this year.
