Preseason Big East Standings

[StepbackDog]

Give us a good rank for preseason first year back Big East Way-Too-Early Preseason Rankings

 

[Son of Robert]

That's impressive this early. I don't see this changing either. Quite an improvement in the state of the program.

[Hey Adrien!]

I agree with the tiers:

* Nova/Creighton clear top-2 teams
* 2nd tier includes UConn/Xavier/Providence/Seton Hall
* Then the rest

Nice improvement from a few months ago when we were picked to finish about 6- probably- picking up Tyrese Martin and Sanogo helped us along with the upward trend - plus we have guys improving coming off injury have moved us up a few spots

What's going on with Ewing at Georgetown? Seems to be having the same problems Kevin had here. Kids not sticking around

Hope that turns for them, but it's just not a good sign

Hate to throw cold water but anyone remember our 18 SI preseason ranking under KO? I bet we are middle of conference.

our 18 SI preseason ranking under KO

how is that relevant?

Think he's just saying too hard to tell, don't necessarily agree. Feel like it's Creighton and Nova. Then UConn, PC, Seton Hall, and Xavier for the 3 spot

what's this even mean

comparing this team to a kevin ollie team is arbitrary. what's KO have to do with anything?

 

[jibsey]

OK, it had nothing to do with KO. We were well ranked and going places but didn't. Got out over our skis. We have young players, some unproven and still adapting, to say 3rd in BE, thats all.

Fair, I think you could place UConn anywhere 3-6 and that would be a fair pick.

The situation at GU is significantly worse than the KO deal at UCONN. JT Jr (big John) still intimidates the heck out of the entire AD and the University admin in general. He’s a dick and Patrick is pretty horrific at dealing with kids.

Here is my regular season predictions:

1. Villanova (UConn's new rival)
2. UConn
3. Creighton
4. SH
5. StJohn's
6. Providence
7. X
8. Marquette
9. Butler
10.DePaul
11.Georgetown

Honestly don't think it matters. Just happy knowing that we can beat anyone on any given night. Really looking forward to that. It seems our lineup is more complete and we will have that many more meaningful games now that we are in the big East.

1. Villanova (UConn's new rival)

3. Creighton
4. SH
5. StJohn's
6. Providence
7. X
8. Marquette
9. Butler
10.DePaul
11.Georgetown

Zero chance that SJU finishes #5.

 

[UconnU]

We’re back boys.

are you this sensitive all the time Mrs Hurley?
The guy was just pointing out what happened in pre '18 predictions
Remember where people had UNC ranked before last season? But what does UNC have to do with anything? Right?

But what does UNC have to do with anything? Right?

thanks captain obvious, or should i say mrs. ollie? one can randomly point to any team that failed to live up to their preseason expectations. but one can also randomly point to any team that met their preseason expectations, or better yet one can randomly point to a team that surpassed their preseason expectations! your comment is a pointless as the one i was quoting.
