The NEW Big East
The Big East has to prove they're still nation's best
A disappointing debut year for the conference had a few bright spots that were encouraging. There is no debate that the Big East is the best conference in the country. However, an encouraging recruiting class for several teams may make at least a campaign for them.
John Thompson III
Coach John Thompson III will look to have a successful year this year after a disappointing Georgetown Hoya season resulting without a trip to the NCAA tournament.
Big East Basketball
The Big East hope to return to the top of the Nation's best conferences.
Villanova
A very strong season from the wildcats last year. Coach Jay Wright will attempt to prepare his team as he had done last year.
