overall i would say the Syracuse Big east schedule is not nearly as brutal as some of the other teams which could be very helpfull During Selection Sunday. I think Syracuse might be able to pull of 10-11 Big East wins this year.

Sucks for UConn, Think he will get suspended?

[ehh]

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Not sure, I don't think it's as bad as looks but we'll see.

He got a restraining order placed against him by some girl (and from what I've read girls can get those extremely easily because judges always prefer to take the cautionary side of things) and as soon as he walked out of the RO meeting he called the girl, lol. So 15 minutes after he was told he had the RO he contacted the girl, violating the RO. It's nto a good sign obviously, the kid already has a checked past and is now in trouble less than a month into the Fall semester.

No way that Rutgers is the worst team in the league this year after having one of the best recruiting classes in the conference.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

i wil be honest i dont much about rutgers, usf, seton hall, and st johns. so i took a random guess. i think i know some things about providence and depaul. but i do these things for fun. so i could be completely wrong i just cant wait for big east basketball this year

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

Most publications are picking Rutgers last. Their recruiting class is good but nonetheless they're freshman and none of them are studs. Rosario was a Burger Boy but he's ranked in the 40's or 50's in all recruiting lists. Seems like most Rutgers fans think he's going to be a dominant player and a savior, I think they're setting themselves up for disappointment.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

I'm very excited for the upcoming Notre Dame basketball season although I would have preferred at least one freshman recruit to go with the two transfers that can't play until 2010. The next recruits won't play until 2011 the way Brey handles freshmen.

I would put Louisville 2 or maybe even 1 depending on how good the new recruits are. Gtown will also be better than West Va but the top 9 should make the big dance.

Re: 2008/2009 Big East Thread

1. Connecuit

I've seen a lot of butcherings of 'Connecticut' over the years but I think this one takes the cake.

I think you underestimate West Virginia quite a bit. WVU may have lost Joe Alexander, but now they have a great recruiting class coming in! I am very excited!
