Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 4443891, member: 833"] The season is about a quarter of the way over, and a picture has emerged of the Big East: 1) UConn - blowout wins against two teams that beat the #1 team in the country gets UConn top billing for now. 2) Creighton - Offensive juggernaut, defense is meh. Played a tough schedule so far and look good. 3) Xavier - lost 3 close games to 3 very good opponents. Miller needs to get Freemantle to play like less of a clown, and Colby Jones to realize he is not a superstar, and this team could do some serious damage this year. 4) St. Johns - has not really played anyone (Nebraska and Syracuse suck), but with their speed, they should match up well with Iowa State. Jones is good, and I think the talent is an upgrade over last year. I mostly have them 4th because the rest of the league has kind of face-planted. 5) Marquette - Good coaching and a mediocre Big East may be good enough for 10 wins in the league this year. 6) Providence - not a single quality OOC win, and they look like a mediocre team. They are not going to catch lightening in a bottle like they did last year. 7) Butler - someone has to be 7th. 8) Seton Hall - surprisingly bad this season 9) Villanova - They looked helpless this weekend. Coaching matters. 10) Depaul - doesn't matter 11) Georgetown - Ewing probably won't make it through the season. Big East is probably a 5 bid league this year, although the Big East-Big 12 Battle will have a big impact on that. [/QUOTE]
