Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 3968584, member: 6696"] IMO 'Nova will probably continue to be the cream of the crop in the Big East. But the Good Guys will be ranked in the 10-30 range consistently as we build our brand back up. Creighton: will be a top 20-50ish team every year just like they have been for the last decade. Great for the conference to have a name people know around, but they're not a threat to run the conference like Nova has IMO. Marquette and Seton Hall: I think they stand the best chance of becoming consistent top 25 teams. It would do a lot for the team if they could be ranked teams every year. Still, they've both been in the 25-50ish range on Kenpom for a while now, and that isn't the worst thing for the conference. One more "big name" would do a lot to elevate the conference's reputation though. Xavier: They hovered in probably the 40-70 range all the time since Mack left. I'm not sure the can do much better than that because of they're a mid-west team in an east coast conference. Still not gonna complain about having a decent, if not great, team on the schedule. Providence and Georgetown: It feels like they [I]should[/I] be better than they are. If either one of them can consistently be top a fringe top-25 team it would do A LOT for the conference. Maybe Ewing can pitch himself as big man U with the way he's developed some of their guys. Butler and Depaul: They're A10 teams masquerading in the big east. [/QUOTE]
