The results of the Big East writers preseason poll

[Scot-e]

I just think there are better shooters in the BE this year vs last and they will help shred the Quse zone. The Quse fans think they are the "longest team" and the deepest- they are neither. We are the longest and Lville is the deepest and they also have the top PG in the BE to start the year.

If I'm reading that right, did some writers vote for Connecticut lower than 2nd? I don't really care if Cuse or Connecticut is at the top, but that's just goofy.

Cuse better enjoy the #1 ranking while they can, once they hit the ACC I doubt that they will have that pleasure again.

Shabazz will be great, but he's unproven.

So playing the point in the Final Four on the NC winning team isn't enough proof for you?

If we play high stakes with someone else's money we play differently than when we play with our money.

Having Kemba in the clutch is different than not having Kemba in the clutch. We all our projecting, myself included, that there is a terrific core of players for Shabazz to work with this season. But no one knows for certain if this super talented squad will make up for the absence of what Kemba brought to the team last season. I think it is reasonable to have doubts.

all i meant was that he is unproven at running a team and being the starting PG. i was only trying to explain why some of the writers might have put Syracuse as #1 and UCONN as #2. he's plenty proven for me. i'm psyched we have him and expect big things from him (and Ryan) this year!! but, in fairness, he did have Kemba to fall back on last year. this year no such luck...
