SI's Big East predictions

Obviously Iceman is busting chops here, but it does raise an interesting point. That being when does Hurley need to actually produce. Despite the big rep, and all the bluster, he has had at best a pretty modest list of accomplishments. 2 first round exits, no trips to the league finals. No league titles either regular season or tourney. Very Seton Hallesque. If this year is similar, 3rd place in the league, early tournament exit, is he on the clock in 23-24?

Anybody who has Xavier over UConn, let alone first, is an idiot.

I'm feeling pretty good about this. Anybody want to reconsider their downvotes?

You better knock on wood, dude!

(Of course UConn is clearly a better team overall, but that doesn't mean Xavier can't beat us two or three times when you play fast and loose with the mojo!)

From early summer, I have felt that this was a different year. Different mojo rules apply. This UConn team is a force of nature, and grows stronger through acknowledgement of that. We smell their fear, see them tremble at our approach, knowing they are helpless to prevent the inevitable.

This team feels different. Pick your poison. We can go small, we can play big. We can score in the paint. We have shooters from deep. We can run. We can play halfcourt. We defend the three. We help on d and rotate. We have great transition defense. We defend the paint and rebound.

(and we still don't have Samson back yet)

I'm going to enjoy watching this team all season.
