Continuing the series from Dom Amore.

“A far as the play in the league, it still is at a high level,” Leitao said. “The physicality is maybe not as much, and I don’t know if that’s so much the Big East or if it has to do with the change in rules. There’s a little more freedom of movement. But if you were to describe for someone, what does a Big East team look like? Or a Big East player? There are a lot of similarities from times gone by to the times we are in right now. If you look at this past season and Myles Powell for instance, or Markus Howard, they’re representative of the same kind of talent that the Big East has come to know and love all the way back to Pearl Washington or Ray Allen, or Allen Iverson or Kerry Kittles. So there is a distinct personality that hasn’t changed, but the style of play has adjusted to the times.”

UConn brings credibility to a league that needs it.
