Big East Media Day commences at 8:30 this morning. We'll find out the first couple weeks of the league schedule along with preseason selections and awards.

Dan Hurley, James Bouknight, and Isaiah Whaley will speak to the media throughout the day.
 
UConn picked to finish 4th in the preseason coaches poll, behind Villanova, Creighton, and Providence.

Cmon Bouk 2nd team. I bet half these coaches never seen him play.

Good, I love this. He's gonna show every coach in the league why he should've been first-team Big East when he ends up first team All-American.

We're playing in small gyms so assuming no fans. Georgetown at McDonough and Providence at Alumni Hall
 
Furious that PC is ahead of us, but enjoying the fact that Xavier is way below us.

Georgetown hasn't confirmed any locations for games. Then again, it only announced its roster on Sunday.

Really.
 
Definitely a good chance of getting 4, possibly 5 BE wins before New Years. Imagine a January game vs Nova with that record... doooooomed
 
I really like the initial schedule. Imagine playing Creighton 3-0 (fingers crossed, Villanova when we’re both near the top of the standings

For sure, but can’t lay eggs on the road like last year to start conference play. Remember how we started conference play last year? Though I think this team is more prepared than that of prior years. Should go 3-2 at bare minimum so a good starting block. PC is a physical team so we’ve got to show up to play, thanks to Mr. Strength we’ve got a fighting chance against PC and Creighton. I’d say we could take PC in a close one, as for Creighton, any other circumstance we win that game with a sold out Gampel, but I think we’re gonna lose that one, but there’s still time for this team to show me otherwise.
 
Hurley can show that to Bouk all year. Motivation at its finest.
It is what it is.. Once ShowTime Bouk and his posse have done their first loop through the BE schedule..These preseason predictions will have been blown up.. Be water my friends..

PC had a season like ours last year. They started off horribly and we're playing best at the end (I think most likely looking at an at large bid) If us and them continue with that momentum we are looking at some fun games. As baker mayfield once tweeted "keep that same energy."
 
Pre-season snubs, even little ones, are a good thing. It creates just a little more permanent motivation. James handled it perfectly with a thank you.

Prove'em wrong on the court and at the end of the year, James. We know what you got...
